Top-bottom asymmetry in vertical orbwebs: a functional explanation and attendant complications.

Wolfgang Nentwig1.   

Abstract

The distribution of entangled insects (=actual prey) in symmetrical and asymmetrical orbwebs of four tropical araneid spiders was studied. Both web types show a inhomogeneous insect distribution between individual web sections. Possible explanations are discussed but do not completely explain the inhomogeneous insect distribution.
