“…For example, in species of Goniosomatinae, although females do not abandon their clutches to forage, heavy rain may cause them to look for shelter and leave the eggs unguarded (NFSS & GF Pagoti, personal observations, N = 3). Females may also leave following attacks by large predators such as marsupials or reduviid bugs (see Gnaspini, 1996;Silva & Willemart, 2015), or other disturbances (Gnaspini & Cavalheiro, 1998;Machado et al, 2000;Willemart & Gnaspini, 2004a). Despite the reason for displacement and distance, females of Goniosomatinae are still able to return to their clutches after minutes or hours (Ramires & Giaretta, 1994; RHW, G Machado, GF Pagoti & NFSS, personal observations), demonstrating consistent homing behaviour.…”
