Influences of sociality and maternal size on reproductive strategies: trade-offs between offspring size and quantity in five Anelosimus species (Araneae, Theridiidae)
Individuals can experience accentuated disputes for resources when living with many conspecifics, even in situations in which cooperative behaviors...
