Reproductive success in a socially polymorphic spider: social individuals experience depressed reproductive success in isolation

2010-12-01

Abstract excerpt

1. Correlated individual differences in behaviour across ecological contexts, or behavioural syndromes, can theoretically constrain individuals' ability to optimally adjust their behaviour for specific contexts. 2. Female Anelosimus studiosus exhibit a unique behavioural polymorphism: ‘social' females are tolerant of conspecifics and aggregate in multi‐female colonies, while ‘solitary' females aggressively defend...
