APPENDIX 8.

Bray-Curtis result matrix for Aphonopelma chalcodes. This matrix displays the comparison of burrows produced by Gorgyrella inermis, Hogna lenta, and A. chalcodes . Cells are filled in black where burrows are compared to themselves. Cells with scores of high (1.0-0.8), moderate (0.7-0.6) to low (0.5-0.3) similarity are filled in blue with increasing lightness. See Table 1 and Appendix 7 for architecture key. (PDF only)

APPENDIX 9.

Quantitative data for the burrows produced by Hadrurus arizonensis. All measurements in cm. SR = subvertical ramp, HB = helical burrow, MW = mazework, UB = U-shaped burrow.
