      abstract     = {Embioptera (webspinners) are unique among insects in that
                      juvenile and adults of both sexes spin silk. They possess
                      spinning apparatuses in the basitarsomeres of their
                      prothoracic legs, which they use to build galleries as
                      habitat and protection. Embioptera are primitively social
                      and cooperate in building the galleries. They also show
                      sexual dimorphism that comprises modifications of the
                      mandibles in males, the winglessness of the females and
                      differences in the morphology of the forelegs. In the
                      present investigation we address the correlation of spinning
                      behaviour and sexual dimorphism in the spinning apparatus of
                      Aposthonia ceylonica (Enderlein, 1912). To analyse spinning
                      behaviour we conducted video observations of Ap. ceylonica
                      in artificial habitats. We observed females and males alone
                      as well as female–male pairs to cover possible effects of
                      interactions between sexes. The morphology of the spinning
                      apparatus was analysed and reconstructed using high
                      resolution X-ray computed tomography (SRμCT). The
                      observations show that during trials of 24 h adult males and
                      females produce similar amounts of silk per body weight,
                      despite the fact that adult males do not feed, perhaps due
                      to modifications of their mandibles related to courtship
                      that interfere with feeding. Spinning glands in males are
                      distinctly smaller than in females in absolute values, which
                      reflect the general size difference in females and males.
                      Despite their smaller body size, the volumes of reservoirs
                      of spinning glands are larger in males in relative as well
                      as in absolute values. Together with spinning behaviour and
                      the amount of silk production, this indicates that males
                      produce and store gland secretions in the large reservoirs
                      prior to their final moult for later use.},
