Scientific Papers on Communal/Social Behavior

[AbraxasComplex]

So I am writing a short guide concerning all my experiences with coexistence projects. That means the good, the bad, and the ugly.

I was wondering if anyone has links to various scientific research papers on social behavior in tarantulas or other spiders. Also if anyone knows the link to the paper on Hysterocrates gigas being raised together with no alteration in growth rate that would be helpful too.

I've found a couple, but would appreciate the help.


Thanks.

Foelix' "Biology of Spiders" contains some references about it (Page 258 and so on).

Also, I think this is the link you was searching for:

http://www.americanarachnology.org/JoA_free/JoA_v32_n2/arac-032-02-0324.pdf

Hope it helped.

I'm glad I'm not the only one with this in mind. I'm doing my first communal with H. Incei, so I can get used to caring for that many in one enclosure. But after that I plan to branch out to other genus (genera?)
