- W4313156669 abstract "Abstract There are three major patterns in this chapter: the spectacular diversity of web designs; the rampant evolutionary convergences on similar web designs in different groups; and the existence of many intermediate forms connecting extreme modifications with more typical forms. I propose that newly recognized consequences of several insights mentioned in previous chapters explain these three patterns, forming part of a single overall vision. In the first place, building silken webs to capture prey is both an extremely ancient (at least 245 million years old) and a very successful and widespread trait in spiders. Orb webs had evolved before many major groups such as birds and flowering plants even first appeared in the fossil record. For a very long time, there have been large numbers of web-building spider species evolving web-based predatory strategies. Secondly, it appears that inter-specific competition between web spiders for prey may be uncommon. Orb designs probably seldom represent adaptations to capture specific prey, and inter-specific competition for prey may have rarely selected for divergent web designs; divergence may tend result instead from selection to gain access to different general classes of prey." @default.
