Complex social insect species exhibit task specialization mediated by morphological and behavioral traits.However,evidence of such traits is scarce for other social arthropods.We investigated whether the social pseudoscorpion Paratemnoides nidificator exhibits morphologically and behaviorally specialized individuals in prey capture.We measured body and chela sizes of adult pseudoscorpions and analyzed predation processes.Larger individuals spent more time moving through the colony and foraging than smaller pseudoscorpions.Individuals that captured prey had increased body and absolute chelae sizes.Although larger individuals had relatively small chelae size,they showed a higher probability of prey capture.Larger individuals manipulated prey often,although they fed less than smaller pseudoscorpions.Individuals that initiated captures fed more frequently and for more time than the others.Natural selection might be favoring individuals specialized in foraging and colony protection,allowing smaller and less efficient adults to avoid contact with dangerous prey.To our knowledge,there is incipient information regarding specialized individuals in arachnids,and our results might indicate the emergence of a morphologically specialized group in this species.
