Constant ecology: First entry

[Dr.Webber]

Hello dear reader, as you can see, this is the first entry in what I hope to be a long exploration into the vast and interesting ecosystems of the constant but I’m sure that’s enough fanfare The first species were tackling is spiders specifically the theoretical inner workings and function of their dens I hope you enjoy my tenuous research

What came first the queen or the eggs the answer to such a conundrum I sadly do not know but regardless, it’s a cycle the goal of the species is to spread as much as possible

So first the eggs gets planted all three spiders hatch and start to wait for prey to step on their web and alert them to their presence start killing their prey and eating it possibly even having a social stomach or their stomach also doubles as a social stomach to bring food back to the nest as time goes on a dominant spider out of three emerges ether thought dominance alone or an increased diet and a result of the dominance they start developing into a queen and through Arrhenotoky the cluster starts to grow and through increased Silk production so does the den along with some of the new Brood differentiating into a more capable branch this whole time, the queen is preserving energy for the final stage feeding more and more and as the den grows, so does the queen and  as she reaches the final stage?she leaves behind a group of her offspring, possibly even her siblings.My reason for thinking that this isn’t just for an example , the den will reach its second stage in one IRL minute, which is much shorter then it takes for most dens to reach the second stage which Suggests to me a larger group of spiders that just need a little bit to get their footing After such dramatic change, And if it doesn’t already have a dominant spider(second most dominant previously till the queen left) then one will arise anyway back to the queen, a few members of the cluster Hitched a ride with her as protection during this vital time she wonders for days in hopes to find an area with no dens or other spider  queens you see the reason why she needed so much energy is it takes a lot of energy to maintain this larger form after so many days if the conditions are met she sheds this larger form in favor of the smaller one.and the cycle begins again, It’s even possible that another one of the members of the new den could surpass him in dominance

it’s a cycle the goal of the species is to spread as much as possible for simplicity sack i’m using webber planting the eggs as a catalyst for the loop take place since come to think of it I can’t think of where the actual planting of the eggs with half naturally

So first the eggs gets planted all three spiders hatch and start to wait for prey to step on their web and alert them to their presence start killing their prey and eating it possibly even having a social stomach or their stomach also doubles as a social stomach to bring food back to the nest as time goes on a dominant spider out of three emerges ether thought dominance alone or an increased diet and a result of the dominance they start developing into a queen and through Arrhenotoky the cluster starts to grow and through increased Silk production so does the den along with some of the new Brood differentiating into a more capable branch this whole time, the queen is preserving energy for the final stage feeding more and more and as the den grows, so does the queen and  as she reaches the final stage?she leaves behind a group of her offspring, possibly even her siblings.My reason for thinking that this isn’t just for an egg stand, the stand will reach its second stage in one IRL minute, which is much shorter then it takes for most dens to reach your second stage which Suggests to me a larger group of spiders that just need a little bit to get their footing After such dramatic change, And if it doesn’t already have a dominant spider(second most dominant previously till the queen left) then one will arise anyway back to the queen, a few members of the cluster Hitched a ride with her as protection during this vital time she wonders for days in hopes to find an area with no dens or other spider  queens you see the reason why she needed so much energy is it takes a lot of energy to maintain this larger form after so many days if the conditions are met she sheds this larger form in favor of the smaller one.and the cycle begins again, It’s even possible that another one of the members of the new den could surpass him in dominance

next entry: spider anatomy

(It would be sweet if this was written in the form of a research paper like I'd see Wilson or that projection-guy who looks similar to wilson but older might note down.)

That’s actually where going for

Hey @NPCMaxwell I was doing some more research on the spiders and I know in the past, you said you think the spider queens and spider warriors  are two separate paths a spider could take but apparently in tier 2, there’s only one spider warrior so do you think the first spider warrior grows into the spider queen?

This could be the case then, after all it already underwent one metamorphises in that case. So basically you mean that the dominant spider warrior will take the place as the queen?

Ya, but then I run into if you problems Webber’s spider half who is clearly on his way to becoming a queen isn’t a spider warrior and do you think it stays a warrior when reaching to three or do you think it starts the process of becoming a queen?

Maybe there are then two different branches after all and the spider warriors just don't become active spider warriors all at the same time.

@NPCMaxwellIt might work like soldier ants
