Spiders are often underestimated as suitable behavioural models
because of the general belief that due to their small brains their
behaviour is innate and mostly invariable. Challenging this
assumption, this fascinating book shows that rather than having a
limited behavioural repertoire, spiders show surprising cognitive
abilities, changing their behaviour to suit their situational
needs. The team of authors unravels the considerable intra-specific
as well as intra-individual variability and plasticity in different
behaviours ranging from foraging and web building to communication
and courtship. An introductory chapter on spider biology,
systematics and evolution provides the reader with the necessary
background information to understand the discussed behaviours and
helps to place them into an evolutionary context. Highlighting an
under-explored area of behaviour, this book will provide new ideas
for behavioural researchers and students unfamiliar with spiders as
well as a valuable resource for those already working in this
intriguing field.
