The effects of web surface area and elevation on prey capture rate of cobweb weaving spiders.

General EcologyThis study examines various abiotic and biotic factors that influence the capture rate of cobweb weaving spiders in a deciduous forest in Pellston, MI. The spiders studied were of the family Theridiidae. Spiders and their corresponding webs were identified, marked, and observed for six days. Capture rate, web elevation, web surface area, spider size, and spider presence were compared over two separate sites. A significant relationship was found between capture rate and surface area, in which capture rate increases with surface area (p-value = .008). Significant results were demonstrated regarding the mean capture rate and web location in which webs on Grapevine trail demonstrated a higher capture rate (.339 prey items/12hrs) than webs on Pinepoint Trail (.237 prey items/12hrs). Capture rate is higher during the day (.36 prey items/12hrs) than at night (.21 prey items/12hrs). Additional correlations between location, elevation, and surface area were also observed. This research demonstrates various ecological implications of the spiders’ niche in the ecosystem studied.http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/95917/1/Dittel_Duemling_Fivenson_Patten_2012.pd

The Institutional Missionary and the Divine Service

The institutional missionary is engaged in a special mission endeavor, which is not only very difficult but also requires much experience and training. He deals chiefly with people confined in public institutions, the afflicted, sick, dependent, and the unfortunates, trying to win them for Christ. He is not only a missionary- preacher but also a pastor and spiritual adviser

How to Deal with Cases of Attempted Suicide

The problem of suicide or attempted suicide has so many aspects and such far-reaching implications that no short treatise can possibly cover all of them. A suicide is a person who, with premeditation, has deliberately terminated his life. An attempted suicide is an individual who has made an attempt at suicide, but has failed in the act. The subject is bound up with the values that the individual, the community, and the Church attach to life, with existing attitudes towards death, with racial habits and customs, with prevailing standards of life and the variations from such standards. Any attempt to deal completely with the question that has so many ramifications would baffle the skill of the most thoughtful student of human affairs. It is a study that concerns equally the physician and the lawyer, the teacher and the conscientious pastor

The Institutional Missionary and the Spiritual Rehabilitation of the Prisoner

This dejected and rejected man is not forgotten by the Church. Whatever we may think of prisoners and their crimes, the fact nevertheless remains that each and every one has an immortal soul, for which the Savior also bled and died on Calvary\u27s cross. It is God\u27s will that the wicked should turn from his ways and live. Cognizant of the fact that the Lord enjoins the Church to preach the Gospel to every creature, a missionary chaplain is sent to the abode of convicted men. It is the Gospel that will save them from eternal condemnation
