FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description A beautifully illustrated guide to the natural history and breathtaking diversity of spiders around the world.Spiders are dominant predators in virtually every terrestrial ecosystem on the planet. A marvel of evolution with species numbering in the tens of thousands, they have been walking the earth since before the dinosaurs. Spiders manipulate the silk strands of their webs to act as a sensory field, which vibrates across wide frequencies that they can read in detail, while young spiders spin silk lines that interact with the electrical fields in the atmosphere, enabling them to balloon across huge distances. Some spiders even gather in groups to impersonate ants in astonishing displays of collective mimicry. The Lives of Spiders explores these and other wonders, blending stunning imagery, lively writing, and the latest science to explore the natural history of the worlds diverse arachnid life. Author Biography Ximena Nelson is Professor of Animal Behavior at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand.
