Chapter 55, Problem 1CQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The benefit which male spiders derive by being eaten by the females after copulation.
Introduction: The observable response of an organism towards external or the internal stimulus is known as its behaviour. The contribution of behaviour towards survival and reproduction of an organism is referred to as behavioural ecology. Asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction are two methods of producing offsprings. Spiders depict sexual reproduction.

Students have asked these similar questions
How is fecundation done in insects (external or internal)? Is there copulation between insects?
Large testes are probably advantageous in species with sperm competition because
larger testes produce more sperm which increses males' probability of
fertilization
females choose males based on testes size
more testosterone production increases fighting ability of males
larger testes produce larger sized sperm which have a competitive advantage
over other sperm
Describe the feeding biology of centipedes, spiders, mites and beetles. Compare and contrast these with the sexual biology of these same animals. How might differences in feeding relate to differences in mating behavior?
