  • Battler, A. (2022, February 4). She is an internationally recognized expert on widow spiders with research on species spanning four continents, and conducted in her lab at the University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC). To perform laboratory experiments on these spiders, they have a designated area for spider growth and mating which house thousands of spiders at any given time.

    Maydianne Andrade. Dr. Andrade’s lab has demonstrated that male spider body size does not correlate with vertical climbing speeds to reach mates, and that male spiders can find females who have not mated yet by chemicals, pheromones, on their webs. https://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/biosci/maydianne-andrade

    We seek to understand

    1. how sexual selection, social behaviour, and ecological conditions affect the evolution of mating strategies and morphology.
    2. the mechanistic traits underlying fitness.

      Andrade then completed her PhD at Cornell University in Neurobiology and behaviour, furthering her studies on cannibalistic spider mating.
