To do this, they have developed incredibly good catching techniques and, with spider silk, a tool that makes material technology green with envy. The males are usually smaller than the females and, in order to have sex, they have to come up with a lot to avoid being misunderstood as easy prey: Dancing, drumming, and gifts almost always help. Spiders use their venom in very precise doses, and since humans are not on their menu, they are harmless to us. Many people's (unnecessary) fear of spiders finds cultural roots as early as the Middle Ages. Nevertheless, spider fear is easily treatable. There is no habitat or building without spiders. And that's a good thing, because spiders have fascinating properties and their world is full of surprises. Everything you need to know about them is explained in this book in understandable language by experts forlaymen. In addition, some of the most common spider species in the house and garden are briefly presented with tips for observation. The authors This book is authored by eight scientists, all of them members of the Association for the Promotion of Spider Research: Wolfgang Nentwig, Jutta Ansorg, Angelo Bolzern, Holger Frick, Anne-Sarah Ganske, Ambros Hänggi, Christian Kropf and Anna Stäubli. 410 0$aBiomedical and Life Sciences Series 606 $aInvertebrates 606 $aBiodiversity 606 $aEcology 606 $aPhysiology 606 $aToxicology 606 $aInvertebrate Zoology 606 $aBiodiversity 606 $aEcology 606 $aPhysiology 606 $aMedical Toxicology 615 0$aInvertebrates. 615 0$aBiodiversity. 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aPhysiology. 615 0$aToxicology. 615 14$aInvertebrate Zoology. 615 24$aBiodiversity. 615 24$aEcology. 615 24$aPhysiology. 615 24$aMedical Toxicology. 676 $a595.44 676 $a595.44 700 $aNentwig$b Wolfgang$f1953-$01221634 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910559386403321 996 $aAll You Need to Know about Spiders$92832791 997 $aUNINA
