| Abstract | |
The Group of spiders is extremely diverse and is distributed in practically all terrestrial habitats. However, the occurrence of most species is conditioned by abiotic and biotic factors. Thus, elements such as altitude, light intensity, temperature, humidity, as well as existing interactions with other organisms, such as the relationship between prey and predators, may influence the distribution pattern and population adjustments of spiders over time. The vegetation is a determining factor for the biology of Orb-Weavers spiders, because, in addition to providing adequate microclimatic conditions, it provides shelter and support spots for construction of webs. Eustala taquara (Araneidae) inhabits herbaceous plants and shrubs, and are difficult to be seen by blending with the dry vegetation where they lie...
