- catalog abstract ""Spiderwebs and Silk links the molecular evolution of silk proteins to the evolution and behavioral ecology of web-spinning spiders and other arthropods. The diversity of spiderwebs and the fact that web building evolved only once among the many silk-producing arthropods provide a unique opportunity to understand how molecular evolution can both enable and limit species diversity. "Craig's book draws together studies from biochemistry, molecular genetics, cellular physiology, ecology, and behavior to present an integrated understanding of an interesting biological system from molecular through organismal levels of organization."--Jacket.".
