Experimental Design

Cellar spiders can survive without food for four to eight weeks, since they don’t use too much energy. We don’t expect to see significant behavioral change (feeding habits, aggression) between the 0-d and 3-d starved spiders. But, we expect to see significant difference in behavior for the 0-d/3-d and 7-d spiders, where the 7-d spiders will feed faster or act more aggressively.
