The adhesive spiral in cribellate webs is less extensible than in the ecribellate ones. |
We propose that the more diverse clade of ecribellate orb weavers will have lower site tenacity in relation to the less diverse clade of cribellate orb weavers. |
This web-decorating behavior is seen in a number of Araneidae, spanning 15 genera and occurring in both ecribellate and cribellate spiders. |
Both Ageleninae and Coelotinae are ecribellate spiders and build similar funnel-shaped webs, although the webs of Coelotinae appear to be much smaller. |
Therefore, a Jurassic araneofauna existed of orb-web weavers including both cribellate uloborids and ecribellate araneoids. |
A group of generally small to medium-sized, entelegyne, ecribellate, eight-eyed spiders having tarsi armed with two claws and claw tufts. |
