Figure 5


Fig. 5. Values of Fh/F are plotted against extension for Araneus and Nephila MA silk. Nephila MA values are represented by black squares and are fitted to the linear regression, y=0.13x+0.51; N=7; R2=0.77; P<0.01. Measurements on Araneus MA silk are represented by black circles; open circles are Fh/F values taken from Gosline et al. (Gosline et al., 1984). The Araneus MA Fh/F data are fitted to the linear regression, y=0.02x–0.53; N=10; R2=0.68; P<0.01.
