Predictors of colony extinction vary by habitat type in social spiders

B. McEwen, J. Lichstenstein, D. Fisher, C. Wright, G. Chism, N. Pinter-Wollman, J. Pruitt

The study examines how environmental factors predict colony extinction in social spiders across different habitats, finding that ant attacks and fungal outbreaks are key drivers in deserts and savannas, respectively.

COLLECTIVE AGGRESSIVENESS LIMITS COLONY PERSISTENCE IN HIGH BUT NOT LOW ELEVATION SITES IN AMAZONIAN SOCIAL SPIDERS

J. L. Lichtenstein, D. N. Fisher, B. McEwen, D. T. Nondorf, E. Calvache, C. Schmitz, J. Elasser, J. N. Pruitt

The paper examines how collective aggressiveness in social spider colonies affects their persistence at different elevation sites in the Amazon, finding that less aggressive colonies persist better at high elevations.
