Book excerpt: “A Way to Garden prods us toward that ineffable place where we feel we belong; it’s a guide to living both in and out of the garden.” —The New York Times Book Review For Margaret Roach, gardening is more than a hobby, it’s a calling. Her unique approach, which she calls “horticultural how-to and woo-woo,” is a blend of vital information you need to memorize and intuitive steps you must simply feel and surrender to. In A Way to Garden, Roach imparts decades of garden wisdom on seasonal gardening, ornamental plants, vegetable gardening, design, gardening for wildlife, organic practices, and much more. She also challenges gardeners to think beyond their garden borders and to consider the ways gardening can enrich the world. Brimming with beautiful photographs of Roach’s own garden, A Way to Garden is practical, inspiring, and a must-have for every passionate gardener.

Download or read book Spider Webs written by William Eberhard and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page 679 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this lavishly illustrated, first-ever book on how spider webs are built, function, and evolved, William Eberhard provides a comprehensive overview of spider functional morphology and behavior related to web building, and of the surprising physical agility and mental abilities of orb weavers. For instance, one spider spins more than three precisely spaced, morphologically complex spiral attachments per second for up to fifteen minutes at a time. Spiders even adjust the mechanical properties of their famously strong silken lines to different parts of their webs and different environments, and make dramatic modifications in orb designs to adapt to available spaces. This extensive adaptive flexibility, involving decisions influenced by up to sixteen different cues, is unexpected in such small, supposedly simple animals. As Eberhard reveals, the extraordinary diversity of webs includes ingenious solutions to gain access to prey in esoteric habitats, from blazing hot and shifting sand dunes (to capture ants) to the surfaces of tropical lakes (to capture water striders). Some webs are nets that are cast onto prey, while others form baskets into which the spider flicks prey. Some aerial webs are tramways used by spiders searching for chemical cues from their prey below, while others feature landing sites for flying insects and spiders where the spider then stalks its prey. In some webs, long trip lines are delicately sustained just above the ground by tiny rigid silk poles. Stemming from the author’s more than five decades observing spider webs, this book will be the definitive reference for years to come.

Download or read book From Nano to Micro to Macro written by Vasav Sahni and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spiders employ clever behavioral strategies combined with almost invisible custom-made adhesives for locomotion and prey-capture. The adhesive produced by modern orb-weaving spiders to capture prey (viscid glue) is laid on a pair of extensible axial silk fibers as micron-size glue droplets that are composed of a mixture of salts and polymeric glycoproteins. Each glue droplet is composed of a dense core surrounded by a sparse shell. We discuss the importance of the structure at nano-, micro-, and macro level in adhesion. At the nano level, we show that the inherent elasticity in the glue enhances adhesion caused by specific adhesive ligand by over two orders of magnitude.Furthermore, we describe how the viscoelastic solid nature of the glue drops help in capturing and retaining prey. We also develop an energy model to separate the axial silkcontributions from glue droplet contribution in the force required to separate a whole thread from a surface. We describe the functions of the salts that are present in large quantities in the web, and are nutritionally and physiologically essential for the spider. Previously, it was assumed that the main function of the salts is to sequester water. We show that salts play a major role in adhesion itself and how the core-shell microstructure developed withineach drop facilitates reversible usage of this glue. We compare the properties and humidity-responses of orb-weaving glue with thegumfoot glue produced by cob-weavers, the evolutionary descendants of orb-weavers and despite being produced in homologous glands, we find very interesting differences.We mimic the common macro-architecture of these capture threads: Beads-on-a-string(BOAS) architecture, and understand why spiders employ this architecture for capturing prey. Lastly, we discuss the attachment discs produced by spiders, which make it possible for spiders to move, defend, and capture prey. We comment on how the macroarchitecture of these attachment discs affects their adhesion, thus enabling different functions in a web. This research, thus shows the importance of structure at different length scales ininfluencing adhesion and shall inspire future efforts directed towards tunable adhesives.
