	abstract = {Anoplius liukiu (DALLA TORRE) exhibits several characteristics in its nesting behavior. Females build their nests in the ground before hunting. They transport prey walking backward on the ground, grasping it in their mandibles by the base of the legs. Alternatively they may drag it forward along the surface film of the water, using their wings for locomotion, grasping it by the middle of the first or second leg, as do females of A. eous YASUMATSU. Their nests are often excavated in pre-existing large burrows opening into stream banks and contain 1-4 cells. Their prey consists of immature or adult males and females of Pardosa pseudoannulata (BOSFNBERG et STRAND) (Lycosidae). Other prey taken was an adult female of Pirata clercki (BOSENBERG et STRAND) (Lycosidae) and a juvenile of Coelotes sp. (Agelenidae). Nesting behavior and some morphological characteristics of this species are compared with those of A. eous, which occupies the same habitat as A. liukiu but is more versatile in its nesting and more adapted for a semi-aquatic mode of life.},

	abstract = {Because competition for resources generally leads to the spatial exclusion of species using similar resources, it is surprising that foreign spider species are frequently observed in or near the nests of the social spider, Anelosimus studiosus (Hentz 1850) (Theridiidae). In this study, we quantified the frequency of A. studiosus-foreign spider co-occurrence and completed experiments designed to explain the nature of the host-foreign spider species associations. Four families were numerically prominent nest associates of A. studiosus: Salticidae, Anyphaenidae, Araneidae and Tetragnathidae. These families and the Agelenidae (intermediate association rate) and (Philodromidae) (infrequent association rate) were subjected to further study. In choice trials, no foreign spider family discriminated nest silk or A. studiosus, itself, from the foliage the nest is built in. Predation events and maximum inter-individual spacing were significant outcomes of induced pair-wise interactions between host and foreign spiders for all families. Predation events were almost exclusively foreign on host. Field census results show that a close correspondence exists between the rate of loss of A. studiosus nests over time and the association rate of anyphaenids and agelenids at particular sites: these two families were the prominent predators on A. studiosus in laboratory trials. In reciprocal predation tests, juveniles suffered less predation in the presence of a mother; in the reciprocal trials, mothers also suffered less predation from foreign spiders when juveniles were present.},

Our investigation of the influence of pasturage and grassland burning upon the abundance of insects and spiders on the host plant, Sophora flavescens indicated the following facts: (1) Collected from the host plant of this butterfly were 10 families, 19 species of spider. Thomisid spiders were most aboundant, followed by araneid spiders. (2) A number of spiders preyed on this butterfly: Linyphia radiata (Linyphiidae), Agelena limbata (Agelenidae), Neoscona adianta (Araneidae), Tibellus tenellus (Philodromidae), Xysticus ephippiatus (Thomisidae), Misumenops tricuspidatus (Thomisidae), Carrthotus xanthogramma (Salticidae). (3) The insect fauna on the host plant of this butterfly was from 41 families, 56 species from April to July. Dominant species were larvae of this butterfly, Formica japonica (Formicidae) and Camponotus japonicus (Formicidae). (4) Under the non-pasturage or non-grassland burning, the population of larvae of this butterfly, F japonica and C. japonicus decreased markedly. On the other hand, the spider density of the field under the non pasturage or non fire burning was higher than that of the field under the pasturage and grassland burning, especially Thomisidae. These results suggested that the number of ants and larvae of this butterfly on the host plant decreased in the habitat under the non-pasturage or non-grassland burning. The population of this butterfly decreased in these environments.},

The strips contained a significantly greater web cover for the sheet webs of Linyphiidae in May and at the end of July. Qualitative assessment of spiders{\textquoteright} prey revealed high percentages (up to 92\%) of Diptera and Aphidina (including pests). Quantitative evaluation of spider predation in the orb webs of Araneidae/Tetragnathidae and the sheet webs of Linyphiidae showed very small prey turnover rates e.g. Linyphiidae killed on average 1.5-1.7 aphids m-2 9 h daylight-1 in wheat. Theoretical estimates of diurnal prey capture in all spider webs (including Theridiidae and Agelenidae) were calculated. Comparisons with the reduction of noxious insects by other polyphagous predators suggested that in the investigated field the importance of spiders as biological control agents is rather small.},

A kleptoparasitic spider, Argyrodes kumadai, is known to use phylogenetically unrelated host species in different regions - Cyrtophora moluccensis (Araneidae) in south-west Japan and Agelena silvatica (Agelenidae) in north-east Japan. The work reported here examined whether differences in host characters affect prey acquisition of A. kumadai.2. Field surveys showed that prey-biomass capture rate of Argyrodes was significantly higher in populations parasitising Cyrtophora than in populations parasitising Agelena. Although Argyrodes appeared to catch fewer prey within Cyrtophora webs, they were able to feed upon substantially larger prey.3. Differences in prey-biomass capture rate were found to reflect differences in host traits rather than regional differences in potential prey availability. Individuals in populations parasitising Cyrtophora were observed to acquire prey via a number of foraging tactics that included stealing wrapped food bundles, feeding upon prey remains and, in the case of large prey items, feeding together with the host. In contrast, individuals in populations parasitising Agelena were only ever observed to feed upon small prey items ignored by its host.4. This variability in prey acquisition between kleptoparasite populations reflected different opportunities for feeding within their respective host webs - opportunities that were primarily determined by the foraging behaviour of the host. One key trait associated with host foraging behaviour was host-web structure, namely the presence/absence of a retreat.},
