Bromeliad-Living Spiders Improve Host Plant Nutrition and Growth Mutualism has become an important area of research in ecology. Plant performance can be improved if organisms‚ such as ants or spiders‚ reduce the damage to floral tissues caused by phytophages. Most mutualistic relationships that have been studied focus on the influence certain organisms have on improving plant performance and the shelter/ food the plant provides in return. For example‚ the Cecropia tree is defended by colonies

Spider silk What is Spider silk? Spider silk is incredibly tough and it is stronger by weight than steel. Quantitatively‚ spider silk is five times stronger than steel of the same diameter.
