| Abstract | The burrowing habitat play important role in the survival of Geolycosa spiders. The field study was conducted to characterize burrowing behavior of the Geolycosa sp. The Melghat Tiger Reserve (MTR) is located in the Satpuda hill ranges of Central India’s Maharashtra state. The Vairat is the highest point in Melghat tiger reserve (MTR) where patterns of burrowing habit of Geolycosa sp. was studied during summer season (May – 2011). 50 burrows of Geolycosa sp. and diameters were measured. For investigation of the structure of burrows, we carefully dug 10 burrows. The total length of burrows were 54.86 cm ±3 and all of them were Vshaped. The architecture of burrow is very unique to take rest, to rare young ones and also for self protection and predation. |
