Functional flexibility in a spider's Orb Web
Web spiders rely on vibrations propagated via their web to identify, locate and capture entangled prey. Here we experimentally test the robustness of the orb weaver's predation strategy when webs are severely distorted and silk tensions are drastically altered throughout the web, a common occur...
