Funded Activity Summary

Mechanisms influencing the evolutionary trajectories of extended phenotypes. Although we know how the environment and predator-prey interactions shape traits, we have a poor grasp of the evolution of extended phenotypes. The webs of spiders have switched repeatedly between two- and three-dimensional forms over time, so are excellent models for assessing extended phenotype evolution. This project will use innovative experiments to assess whether the prey capture performance of webs or their visibility to insects drove the repeated This project will provide insights into the interactive roles of the environment and prey in shaping extended phenotype diversification.
