Prey catching behavior in most spiders is dominated by vibratory signals generated by prey animals. We have studied the release of the predatory behavior in two orb weavers,Zygiella x-notata andNephila clavipes (Araneidae) and measured threshold curves by applying sinusoidal stimuli to the webs (Fig. 1). 1.

Wasp Attacks and Spider Defence in the Orb Weaving Species Zygiella x-notata
Journal of Insect Behavior, 2007Predator–prey relationships are generally based on arm-race. Wasps and spiders are both predators, which could be potential prey for each other. The orb weaver spider Zygiella x-notata is sometimes a prey for the wasp Vespula germanica. We observed the wasp hunting behaviour under natural conditions, and we tested the influence of the spider’s ...

Web-building behaviour in the orb-weaving spider Zygiella x-notata: influence of experience
Animal Behaviour, 2000Zygiella x-notata is an orb-weaving spider that often renews its trap daily. Web building has associated costs and benefits, and building successive webs may have consequences for lifetime reproductive success. In the laboratory, we tested the ability of Z.

Body-mass-dependent cost of web-building behavior in an orb weaving spider, Zygiella x-notata
Naturwissenschaften, 2003In numerous spider species, reproductive success of adult females has been shown to be positively correlated with their body mass. We suggest, however, that spiders may incur greater foraging costs as their body mass increases due to the numerous and complex locomotor bouts needed to build an orb-web.

Influences of aggregative behaviour on space occupation in the spider Zygiella x-notata (Clerck)
Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 1987The distribution of the spider Zygiella x-notata was examined using field populations of adult females occupying the outside frames of windows. The structure of the populations was aggregative, and the distribution of individuals on the window frames and the size of the webs were density dependent. Also, the sizes of the webs of neighbouring spiders on

Micromanipulation in Control and Handling of Zygiella x-notata as an Experimental Animal
Science, 1961The spider Zygiella x-notata may be brought under direct control analogous to that of the common laboratory animals for an important group of experimental investigations on the nerve, muscle, or secretion of digestive glands.

Ethology, 1994
AbstractManagement of resource exploitation by the orb‐weaving spider Zygiella x‐notata was investigated in relation to available prey. Prey capture is studied according to prey type (cricket or fly), and the spider's behaviour (waiting without prey or consuming other prey), at the moment when a prey item was placed onto the web. Characteristics of the

Behaviour, 1991
Prey capture and ingestion by the orb-weaving spider Zygiella x-notata have been studied in relation to prey type and to prey density (number of prey items presented/time unit). Whatever the type or the weight of a prey item (11 mg fly, 11 mg or 15 mg cricket larva), the pattern of prey capture did not vary.

AbstractManagement of a set of various prey received ‘simultaneously’ by the orb‐weaving spider Zygiella x‐notata is investigated in relation to prey species, weight, order of arrival in the web, and factors concerning the spider's state of nourishment.When the spiders encountered several different prey ‘simultaneously’, they subdued all of them, took ...
