Fig. 5. Silk tensile strength (
max) plotted against spider mass
(M). There is no statistically significant trend of tensile strength
with log-transformed spider mass. The least-squares regression best-fit for
the combined A. diadematus and S. scenicus data sets was
max=1.14x109+3.99x10–6logM,
r2=0.0002, P=0.96.
