• Phylogeny of extant nephilid orb‐weaving spiders (Araneae, Nephilidae): testing morphological and ethological homologies (2008, background): “The plugging function of broken emboli in Nephila fenestrata is consistent with the latter and would provide support for the antagonistic coevolution scenario (Fromhage and Schneider, 2006).”
• Genital damage in the orb-web spider Argiope bruennichi (Araneae: Araneidae) increases paternity success (2007, background): “Recently, it was observed for the cannibalistic Nephila fenestrata that genital damage reduces the chance of female remating ( Fromhage and Schneider 2006 ).”
