Predator-prey interactions play a key role in the evolution of adaptive mechanisms and aggressive postures in different animal groups. From this, organisms with colors and behaviors that reduce the risk of detection by natural enemies have a huge selective advantage over those who do not have this attribute. Species with maternal care can maximize their reproductive effort protecting eggs and offspring. In addition, aggressive behaviors against predators and other natural enemies appear to be essential to avoid the enemies attacks and increase offspring survivorship . Thus, in this study we aim to describe web building patterns during maternal behavior, and the influence of previous investment in reproduction and spider size on aggressive ...
