  Gary Danielson   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
Blackledge suffered as an ABC studio analyst in the mid-1990s: not because he did a poor job, but because his eye for the nuances of the sport was so sharp that a studio limited his gifts.
Blackledge has needed to be in a press box and not a cramped studio, where the full measure of his football knowledge can spill out in full flower.
Blackledge will still be calling games--and therefore inhabit the place that nature intended him to have--but similar to his studio days, he'll be able to survey much more of the sport in his new gig.

 Todd A. Blackledge
The reflectance spectrum of the silk used to build stabilimenta suggests that the silk is cryptic to insects, unlike more primitive spider silks (Blackledge 1998b).
This is supported by my experiments demonstrating that honey bees can learn to forage at targets made from primitive spider silks but not targets made from stabilimentum silk (Blackledge and Wenzel 2000).
I suggest that the evolution of silk coloration has occurred through a process termed sensory drive, where innate biases in the color vision of insects has selected for the cryptic properties of stabilimenta.

These silks are constructed from a small array of proteins, providing unique opportunities to link external selective pressures on the mechanical performance of spider silks to evolutionary changes in silk genes.
Furthermore, I am studying how spiders can manipulate the mechanical properties of silk in behavioral contexts such as responding to different types of prey or constructing different types of webs.
