Urbanization-driven changes in web-building are decoupled from body size in an orb-web spider

2017-11-07

Abstract excerpt

In animals, behavioural responses may play an important role in determining population persistence in the face of environmental changes. Body size is a key trait central to many life history traits and behaviours. While behaviours are typically assumed to be highly plastic, size correlations may impose constraints on their adaptive value when size itself is subject to environmental changes. Urbanization is an impo...
