I often wonder how far offspring move from the sac location over the course of their lives. Much like seed dispersing morphologies promote the spread of genes in plants (and lessen nutrient competition with mom), I wonder if sex ratios somehow play a role in spreading genes in spiders. We already know that mature male tarantulas tend to be highly mobile in search of mates. Would the number of males affect the degree of spread?
