- Substructure for the Base of Ecological and Environmental Educational Studies' Miguel Castarde: support to research and to education, AP.PP.VITAE
Abstract
The Japi Mountain was situated between two metropolitan regions (São Paulo and Campinas) and has a protected area as EPA with 19 thousand hectares, with at least 10 thousand hectares of native forest. Several ecological researches have being made during these last 25 years. At December 1992, the municipality of Jundiai city, in convention with UNICAMP (State University of Campinas), it ...
- The role of flourescence and ultraviolet rays reflection on prey attraction by spiders, BP.PD
Abstract
Understand the functional significance of animal color patterns is one of the central themes in evolutionary ecologists' research. The order Araneae is widely used in studies on animal coloration given that it is a megadiverse and ubiquitous group, with several coloration patterns. The prey attraction hypothesis predicts that some spider species attract their prey by reflecting ultravio...
- Interpopulational variation in mating system and reproductive success of Manogea porracea (Araneae, Araneidae), a spider with AMPHISEXUAL care, BP.PD
Abstract
The first case of extended male care in solitary spiders was described to the spider Manogea porracea at the Fazenda Nova Monte Carmelo, Estrela do Sul, MG. Males can remove humidity from egg sacs after raining, repair webs when they are damaged by wind, rain or other stochastic factors, avoiding egg sacs to fall on the ground and to be attacked by predators, and protect offspring again...
- Population dynamics and association of Selenops cocheleti SIMON, 1880 (Araneae: Selenopidae) with plants of family Myrtaceae in the Serra do Japi, São Paulo, Brasil, BP.MS
Abstract
ABSTRACTThe study of population dynamics describes the changes that are the biological communities and the factors and mechanisms that regulate. In spiders, the study of fluctuations in size and/or population density can be affected by several biotic and abiotic variables. These changes can be measured in part by spatial variations, which are strongly correlated with the structure of th...
- Biology and ecology of Eustala taquara (keyserling, 1982), (Araneae, Araneidae) in Serra do Japi, Jundiaí - SP, BP.MS
Abstract
The distribution of spiders that build orbicular webs is directly associated with physical and biological factors. Thus, factors such altitude, light intensity, temperature, humidity, spatial structure of habitat, as well as the interactions with other organisms such as the relationship between prey and predators, can result in choice of substrates suitable for establishment of spiders....
- Natural history and population ecology of Eustala perfida Mello-Leitão, 1947 (Araneae, Araneidae) in Serra do Japi, Jundiaí - SP, BP.MS
Abstract
Many spiders live in narrowly defined environments, limited by physical conditions such as temperature, humidity, wind and light intensity, and also by biological factors such as type of vegetation, availability of prey, competitors and natural enemies. The family Araneidae is the main family of spiders that build orbicular webs. The spider of the present study, Eustala perfida, occurs ...
