Dr. George W. Uetz's "The Spider And Fly Revisited: Ploy-Counterploy Behavior In A Unique Predator-Prey System": Critique
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. The predator-prey relationship represents one of the most phenomenal aspects of nature, inasmuch as there are a number of variables that ultimately predict certain behaviors. Dr. George W. Uetz has taken what might be perceived as nature's dance of survival to an extreme: While most people automatically picture a lion tracking down a hapless antelope as being representative of the predator-prey interaction, Uetz et al (2002) have brought to light an entirely different approach by way of studying the impact of sarcophagid flies (Arachnidomyia lindae) upon the egg sacs of the colonial orb-weaving spider (Metepeira incrassata). The author delves deeply into the reasons why the sarcophagid fly presents as the primary predator of colonial orb-weaving spider egg sacs, utilizing past studies to support his own thesis and subsequent research.
