Changes in the Adhesive Properties of Spider Aggregate Glue During the Evolution of Cobwebs
We compare the prey capture glues produced by orb-weaving spiders (viscid glue) and their evolutionary descendents, the cobweb-weaving spiders (gumfoot glue). These glues are produced in homologous glands but exhibit contrasting structure, properties and response to changing humidity. Individual glu...
