Evolution of spiders from nocturnal to diurnal gave spider silks mechanical resistance against UV irradiation

During their evolutionary history, some species of spiders have changed from a nocturnal to a diurnal lifestyle, and the important change in their environment was irradiation by sunlight. Orb webs of diurnal spiders may be markedly affected by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, whereas those...
