| Popis | In this study, field and laboratory observations of the feeding ecology (natural diet, prey acceptance, prey capture behavior and capture efficacy) of the theridiid Euryopis episinoides Walckenaer, 1847 were combined to reveal its trophic niche and capture efficacy and to test the hypothesis that this species is an ant-eating specialist. |
