Dynamic Population Structure and the Evolution of Spider Mating Systems

Classic explanations of variation in mating systems critically depend on variation in demography. Here, we emphasize how understanding dynamic links between fluctuating population structure and mating tactics, life history, morphology, and sensory capabilities may be advanced using spiders as models. The impressively diverse range of mating systems and tactics among spiders, coupled with unique and manipulable aspects of their biology, may yield important insights into mating system evolution.
