متن کاملDemography and Sex Ratio in Social Spiders.
Spiders that live in large cooperative societies are scattered among several taxonomic groups. All quasisocial species appear to have female-biased sex ratios, while congeneric species with less advanced forms of sociality have 1:1 sex ratios. I present two sex-ratio models that examine the interaction between the genetic structure of populations and two aspects of colony demography-the changes...
متن کاملSelection for Collective Aggressiveness Favors Social Susceptibility in Social Spiders.
Particularly socially influential individuals are present in many groups [1-8], but it is unclear whether their emergence is determined by their social influence versus the social susceptibility of others [9]. The social spider Stegodyphus dumicola shows regional variation in apparent leader-follower dynamics. We use this variation to evaluate the relative contributions of leader social influen...
متن کاملHabitat productivity predicts the global distribution of social spiders
Permanently-social spiders share a common suite of traits, including cooperative foraging and brood care, elimination of pre-mating dispersal, and the transition to an inbreeding mating system. Social spiders are confined to tropic and subtropical habitats, suggesting environmental constraints on the evolution of group living in spiders. Because, social spider groups are sedentary and dependent...
متن کاملTough spiders
Spider graphs are the intersection graphs of subtrees of subdivisions of stars. Thus, spider graphs are chordal graphs that form a common superclass of interval and split graphs. Motivated by previous results on the existence of Hamilton cycles in interval, split and chordal graphs, we show that every 3/2-tough spider graph is hamiltonian. The obtained bound is best possible since there are (3/...
