Predatory Spiders in the Arctic Food Web

Hi Mr.LaFave, I am Destini from St.Mark Catholic School and my question for you is what gave you an interest in studying predatory spiders?

Hi Destiny,I became most interested in spiders after learning that I was being interviewed to be part of this team. I really enjoy studying population ecology and the spiders are ideal for such research. The wolf spiders make up roughly 30 to 40 percent more biomass than wolves in the arctic! They are also easy to work with.
