The critical role of Arachidonic Acid in disposing of spiders
Abstract
Spiders often suffer from abnormal disposal and next death when sponsored by a monetypic diet in fruit drosophila melanogaster. The fruit flies lacking Arachidonic Acid (AA), a nutrient to be critical for successful disposal of spiders. To test this hypothesis, we compare Wolf Wolf Spider survival rates, Posposa Pseudoannula, fed with three types of foods, fruit spies that flow through AA. Besides, we checked the fatty acid composition of spiders who feed midges and fruit flies developed by AA and their victim. The juvenile spiders fed up by midges and the fruit fruit of AA reaches the perfect maturity without disposal issues, while all spiders feed the flys without living in AA. Among 35 different fatty acids, AA level only with two victims and spiders underlined positively to spider survival. Our findings provide interesting evidence that AA is important for survival and disposal of P. Pseudoannulata.
