RS, readily synthesised (GABamide, glycine, alanine); MS, moderately synthesized (N-acetylputrescine, N-acetyltaurine,isethionate, putrescine, taurine); PS, poorly synthesized (choline, glycine betaine) LMM.
Molar percentage data from adult female, juvenile female, and juvenile male starving and feeding groups were used to calculate A. cavaticuscorrelation coefficients. Coefficients for both Argiope species were calculated using molar percentage data from adult female starving and feeding groups.
Bonferroni probabilities: *P<0.05; **P<0.01;***P<0.001.
