Fig. 3. Diameters of single fibers (mean ± s.e.m.) for each of the different

calculated using individual spiders, rather than total numbers of fibers
tested, as the sampling unit. See Table
1 for sample sizes. ac, aciniform; cp, capture spiral; mj, major
ampullate; mn, minor ampullate; tb, tubuliform.
