Abstract
When a male Sierra dome spider (Linyphia litigiosa) encounters a virgin female that has been sexually mature for 7 to 10 days, he rapidly packs the silk of her web into a tight mass. This behavior hinders evaporation of a male-attractant chemical that such highly receptive females apply to their webs. The male thereby reduces the likelihood that his mating partner will attract rival males.
摘要
当一只雄性塞拉圆顶蜘蛛（Linyphia litigiosa）遇到一只已经性成熟7至10天的未交配雌性蜘蛛时，它会迅速将其蛛网上的蛛丝打包成一个紧密的团块。这种行为会阻碍这种高度易接受的雌性蜘蛛涂抹在蛛网上的一种吸引雄性的化学物质的蒸发。雄性蜘蛛借此降低其交配对象吸引竞争对手的可能性。
