Does spatial sorting explain leading edge personality types in a spider’s non‐native range? by Chuang, Angela, Riechert, Susan E.

“…Expanding populations are often characterized by phenotypic shifts across the range. Processes like spatial sorting predict that phenotypes may be distributed…”

Behavioural syndromes and their fitness consequences in a socially polymorphic spider, Anelosimus studiosus by Pruitt, Jonathan N., Riechert, Susan E., Jones, Thomas C.

Iterative Evolution of Increased Behavioral Variation Characterizes the Transition to Sociality in Spiders and Proves Advantageous by Pruitt, Jonathan N., Oufiero, Christopher E., Avilés, Leticia, Riechert, Susan E.

“…The evolution of group living is regarded as a major evolutionary transition and is commonly met with correlated shifts in ancillary characters. We tested for…”

Amazonian social spiders share similar within-colony behavioural variation and behavioural syndromes by Pruitt, Jonathan N., Iturralde, Gabriel, Avilés, Leticia, Riechert, Susan E.
