MAPPING THE VARIATION IN SPIDER BODY COLOURATION FROM AN INSECT PERSPECTIVE Ajuria-Ibarra, H. 1 Tapia-McClung, H. 2 & D. Rao 1 1. INBIOTECA, Universidad Veracruzana, Xalapa, Veracruz, México. 2. Laboratorio Nacional de Informática Avanzada, A.C., Xalapa, Veracruz, México. Colour variation is frequently observed in orb web spiders. Such variation can impact fitness by affecting the way spiders are perceived by relevant observers such as prey (i.e. by resembling flower signals as visual lures) and predators (i.e. by disrupting search image formation). Verrucosa arenata is an orb-weaving spider that presents colour variation in a conspicuous triangular pattern on the dorsal part of the abdomen. This pattern has predominantly white or yellow colouration, but also reflects light in the UV part of the spectrum. We quantified colour variation in V. arenata from images obtained using a full spectrum digital camera. We obtained cone catch quanta and calculated chromatic and achromatic contrasts for the visual systems of Drosophila melanogaster and Apis mellifera. Cluster analyses of the colours of the triangular patch resulted in the formation of six and three statistically different groups in the colour space of D. melanogaster and A. mellifera, respectively. Thus, no continuous colour variation was found.

  • Arachnids) Physical Identification Spiders (Order Araneae
    SPIDERS (Arachnids) Physical Identification Spiders (order Araneae) are air-breathing arthropods that have eight legs and chelicerae with fangs that inject venom. They are the largest order of arachnids and rank seventh in total species diversity among all other orders of organisms. Spiders are found worldwide on every continent except for Antarctica, and have become established in nearly every habitat with the exceptions of air and sea colonization. As of November 2015, at least 45,700 spider species, and 113 families have been recorded by taxonomists. However, there has been dissension within the scientific community as to how all these families should be classified, as evidenced by the over 20 different classifications that have been proposed since 1900. Anatomically, spiders differ from other arthropods in that the usual body segments are fused into two tagmata, the cephalothorax and abdomen, and joined by a small, cylindrical pedicel. Unlike insects, spiders do not have antennae. In all except the most primitive group, the Mesothelae, spiders have the most centralized nervous systems of all arthropods, as all their ganglia are fused into one mass in the cephalothorax. Unlike most arthropods, spiders have no extensor muscles in their limbs and instead extend them by hydraulic pressure. Their abdomens bear appendages that have been modified into spinnerets that extrude silk from up to six types of glands. Spider webs vary widely in size, shape and the amount of sticky thread used. It now appears that the spiral orb web may be one of the earliest forms, and spiders that produce tangled cobwebs are more abundant and diverse than orb-web spiders.

  • A LIST of the JUMPING SPIDERS of MEXICO. David B. Richman and Bruce Cutler
    PECKHAMIA 62.1, 11 October 2008 ISSN 1944-8120 This is a PDF version of PECKHAMIA 2(5): 63-88, December 1988. Pagination of the original document has been retained. 63 A LIST OF THE JUMPING SPIDERS OF MEXICO. David B. Richman and Bruce Cutler The salticids of Mexico are poorly known. Only a few works, such as F. O. Pickard-Cambridge (1901), have dealt with the fauna in any depth and these are considerably out of date. Hoffman (1976) included jumping spiders in her list of the spiders of Mexico, but the list does not contain many species known to occur in Mexico and has some synonyms listed. It is our hope to present a more complete list of Mexican salticids. Without a doubt such a work is preliminary and as more species are examined using modern methods a more complete picture of this varied fauna will emerge. The total of 200 species indicates more a lack of study than a sparse fauna. We would be surprised if the salticid fauna of Chiapas, for example, was not larger than for all of the United States. Unfortunately, much of the tropical forest may disappear before this fauna is fully known. The following list follows the general format of our earlier (1978) work on the salticid fauna of the United States and Canada. We have not prepared a key to genera, at least in part because of the obvious incompleteness of the list. We hope, however, that this list will stimulate further work on the Mexican salticid fauna.

  • The Jungle Book
    Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 1995 Volume II: Film and Literature Using Film and Literature in the Elementary Classroom: The Jungle Book Curriculum Unit 95.02.05 by Gretchen L. Gallagher The playful rays of sun peek between the large, flat green leaves of the towering trees. The young boy rubs his eyes and sits straight up. The first thing he sees is the slumbering black, muscled panther curled up peacefully next to him. His friend, an enormous brown bear, has just returned with some bananas for the boy’s breakfast. As he eats, the boy imagines what adventures he and his friends will have that day. Perhaps they will meet their good friend the python. Maybe he will return to the cave where he grew up and visit his brother wolves. He hopes they will not meet the fierce tiger that longs to kill him. The young boy finishes his breakfast and smiles to himself. He loves his life in the jungle. Introduction The faces of the third-grade boys light up and come to life when told they will learn about a boy their age who lives in the rain forest, or jungle, and whose best friends are a loyal brown bear and a wise black panther. Their attention span suddenly increases, and they begin to ask many questions as their imaginations sputter to life, trying to visualize the exciting, frightening world of the jungle. The students for whom this unit is designed are a group of bright, funny, energetic third grade boys.
