Inter-relation between two locomotor performance traits in orb-web and jumping spiders. Positive relation between running and climbing speeds observed in males of (a) A. keyserlingi, and (b) N. plumipes, but not (c) J. queenslandica. Climbing was assessed on (1) 0.6 cm (black filled circles, solid line), (2) 1.6 cm (grey filled triangles, broken line), and (3) 2.5 cm (open diamonds, black dotted line) diameter dowels [see Additional File 1].
