在希腊-阿尔巴尼亚山洞的1 140平方英尺蜘蛛网中,有110 000只蜘蛛,它们由两个物种组成,由于丰富的食物和黑暗而和平地生活。 A 1,140-square-foot spider web in a Greek-Albanian cave hosts 110,000 spiders of two species living peacefully due to abundant food and darkness.

在希腊-阿尔巴尼亚边界的硫磺洞穴发现了1 140平方英尺的蜘蛛网,估计有110 000只蜘蛛,它们来自两种物种 -- -- Tegenaria homena 和 Prinerigone vagans -- -- ,它们实现了前所未有的和平共处。 A massive 1,140-square-foot spider web has been discovered in Sulfur Cave on the Greek-Albanian border, hosting an estimated 110,000 spiders from two species—Tegenaria domestica and Prinerigone vagans—in an unprecedented peaceful coexistence. 科学家对大蜘蛛和小蜘蛛之间缺乏侵略感到惊讶,它们通常相互猎食。 Scientists were surprised by the lack of aggression between the larger and smaller spiders, which typically prey on one another. 研究人员认为,约有240万蚊蝇的丰盛粮食供应,加上持续的黑暗限制了视野,助长了对振动信号的依赖,减少了竞争和冲突。 Researchers believe an abundant food supply of around 2.4 million midge flies, combined with constant darkness limiting vision and promoting reliance on vibratory cues, reduces competition and conflict. 洞穴栖息蜘蛛显示了与地表栖息亲属的基因差异,表明适应了稳定、富含硫磺的环境。 The cave-dwelling spiders show genetic differences from surface-dwelling relatives, indicating adaptation to the stable, sulfur-rich environment. 虽然网络建设可以是协作性的,但没有证据表明在狩猎或照料年轻人方面进行合作。 While web-building may be collaborative, there is no evidence of cooperation in hunting or caring for young. 该发现发表在Subterranian Bilogy上,很少深入了解环境稳定性和充足资源如何在典型的孤独蜘蛛之间促进长期社区生活,类比于人类在没有直接互动的情况下共用一座建筑。 The discovery, published in Subterranean Biology, offers rare insight into how environmental stability and ample resources can foster long-term communal living among typically solitary spiders, likened to humans sharing a building without direct interaction.
