چکیده انگلیسی
For animals that live in association with humans, a key ecological question is how anthropogenic factors influence their life history. While major negative effects are obvious, subtle non-lethal responses to anthropogenic stimuli may provide insight into the features that lead to the success of species that thrive in habitats heavily impacted by humans. Here we explored the influence of the herbicide atrazine on various life history traits of a wolf spider that thrives in agroecosystems where it is commonly applied. We found that exposure delayed maturation and increased the probability of having molting errors. Atrazine also decreased the probability of producing an egg sac after mating, but increased the average mass of the initial egg sacs that were produced while not impacting the average number of eggs inside. The total number of eggs produced from a single mating on the other hand, was increased in the presence of atrazine through the production of multiple egg sacs. Finally, adult lifespan was shortened with exposure to atrazine. These results suggest that the atrazine based herbicides that are routinely applied to agricultural fields result in altered life history traits, potentially through endocrine disruption, that may counteract one another to allow persistence.
