''Mallos gregalis'' is a spider species belonging to the Dictynidae biological family.〔Platnick, Norman I. (2009): (The world spider catalog ), version 9.5. ''American Museum of Natural History''.〕 ''M. gregalis'' spiders live in Mexico. Discovered by French naturalists in the previous century, ''M. gregalis'' were again brought to light in the 1970s by Wes Burgess,〔Burgess, J. Wesley. (1976): Social Spiders. Scientific American, vol 234, pp 99-106. (1976).〕 〔Burgess, J. Wesley. (1978): Social behavior in group-living spider species. (1978): ''Arachnology. Symposia, Zoological Society of London'', Number. 42. Academic Press, London.〕 working for Scientific American and the North Carolina Mental Health Research Foundation. ''M. gregalis'' live in groups containing thousands of individuals together on a sheet-like spider web. Like other social spiders, the unique qualities of ''M. gregalis web help make their social lifestyle possible.〔Burgess, J. Wesley and Witt, Peter N. (1976): Spider webs: Design and engineering. ''Interdisciplinary Science Reviews'', vol 1, pp 322-335.〕〔Witt, Peter N. and Burgess, J. Wesley. (1978): Spider webs: Design and engineering. ''Naturwissenschafteliche Rundschau'', vol 31, pp 269-282.〕 Their web preferentially transmits the vibrations of flies caught in the web while dampening out the vibrations caused by other spiders, thus allowing the ''M. gregalis'' spiders to distinguish between the prey and each other.〔Burgess, J. Wesley. (1979): Web-signal processing for tolerance and group predation in the social spider Mallos gregalis. ''Animal Behavior'', vol 27, pp 157-164.〕 The smell of previously eaten fly bodies helps attract other flies to M. gregalis' web.〔Tietjen, William James; Ayyagari, Rao; Uetz, George W. Uetz () Symbiosis between social spiders and yeast: the role in prey attraction.〕 ==References==
