It is important to recognize the differences between writing styles in scientific literature when referencing sources, understanding concepts, and conducting research. The articles assigned serve as great examples of two different types: research and review. The research article, “Influence of Prey Movement on the Performance of Simple Detours by Jumping Spiders,” has a more formal layout than the review article, “Spider-Ant Associations: An Updated Review of Myrmecomorphy, Myrmecophily, and Myrmecophagy in Spiders,” although they have some similarities. Both articles have level 1 and level 2 headings that further specify the contents of certain sections. For example, the research article has a level 1 heading for “Materials and Methods” and level 2 headings for “General Methodology” and “Test Procedures.” The review article has a level 1 heading for “Spider Myrmecomorphy” and level 2 headings for “Morphological and Behavioral Adaptations” and “General Adaptive Significance of Myrmecomorphy” along with a few others.
