Spiders in space—orb-web-related behaviour in zero gravity [PDF]
The Science of Nature, 2020 AbstractGravity is very important for many organisms, including web-building spiders. Probably the best approach to study the relevance of gravity on organisms is to bring them to the International Space Station. Here, we describe the results of such an experiment where two juvenile Trichonephila clavipes (L.) (Araneae, Nephilidae) spiders were ...
