It has been postulated that this is a consequence of predator\u2013prey interactions during envenomation, which increase in intensity with the size of a given prey species. The present study was designed to test this hypothesis using anaesthetized crickets of different sizes that were moved artificially. Cupiennius salei was found (1) to inject more venom the greater the intensity of the struggling movement of the crickets (prey size kept constant); (2) to inject more venom the longer the duration of the struggling movement of the crickets (prey size and intensity of movement kept constant); and (3) to inject equal amounts into crickets of different size (duration and intensity of movement kept constant). These results indicate that C. salei alters the amount of venom it releases according to the size and motility of its prey. Venom expenditure depends mainly on the extent of the interactions with the prey during the envenomation process, whereas prey size is of minor significance. The regulation of venom injection in concert with behavioural adaptations in response to various types of prey minimizes the energetic cost of venom production, thus increasing the profitability of a given prey item.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1242\/jeb.202.15.2083","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,25]],"date-time":"2021-04-25T05:28:21Z","timestamp":1619328501000},"page":"2083-2089","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":51,"title":["Effects of size, motility and paralysation time of prey on the quantity of venom injected by the hunting spider <i>Cupiennius salei<\/i>"],"prefix":"10.1242","volume":"202","author":[{"given":"Heinz","family":"Malli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Berne 1 Zoological Institute , , Baltzerstra\u00dfe 3, CH-3012 Berne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lucia","family":"Kuhn-Nentwig","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Berne 1 Zoological Institute , , Baltzerstra\u00dfe 3, CH-3012 Berne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hans","family":"Imboden","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Berne 2 Division of Neurobiology , , Erlachstra\u00dfe 9a, CH-3012 Berne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wolfgang","family":"Nentwig","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Berne 1 Zoological Institute , , Baltzerstra\u00dfe 3, CH-3012 Berne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"237","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1999,8,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024121803354519300_JEXBIO_202_15_2083C1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"67","DOI":"10.1515\/9781400857517.67","article-title":"Spiders and vibratory signals: Sensory reception and behavioral significance","volume-title":"Spider Communication: Mechanisms and Ecological Significance","author":"Barth","year":"1982"},{"key":"2024121803354519300_JEXBIO_202_15_2083C2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"203","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-642-70348-5_11","article-title":"Neuroethology of the spider vibration sense","volume-title":"Neurobiology of Arachnids","author":"Barth","year":"1985"},{"key":"2024121803354519300_JEXBIO_202_15_2083C3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"717","DOI":"10.1016\/0300-9629(93)90148-W","article-title":"Sensory guidance in spider pre-copulatory behavior","volume":"104A","author":"Barth","year":"1993","journal-title":"Comp.
