title: Maturation and d-amphetamine-induced changes in web building.
abstract: Webs of Araneus diadematus Cl. were obtained under drugged (dextroamphetamine) and control conditions at three age-periods in the development of the spider from juvenility to sexual maturity. Although certain features of construction are affected in all periods and some exhibit differential effects with age, it was not possible to separate the latter from changes in body mass between periods.
