Who's watching whom?

Science News,  Oct 28, 2006  by Carolyn Cramoy,  S. Milius

I wonder if the researchers in "Underage Spiders: Males show unexpected interest in young mates" (SN: 8/26/06, p. 133) have made any observations of the prevalence of males mating with juvenile females when mature females are present in the environment.

CAROLYN CRAMOY, LAKE PLACID, N.Y.

Maydianne Andrade of the University of Toronto at Scarborough says that no information on that is available yet. She and her team didn't know about juvenile-spider mating when they did earlier field research that might have offered insight.--S. MILIUS
