Hypothetical Questions! I just want to talk about that, without any intention
to apply any gained knowledge about it, so feel free to speculate and talk.
1. More Oxygen = bigger size? Would spiders grow to giant sizes if one artificially increases the amount of oxygen in the air? I guess same as insects etc. were much bigger when there was more oxygen in the air in early times (up to 30% vs 21% now).
2. Crossbreeds. Analogous to hybrids in plants and selection, would it be possible to breed giant tarantulas? Sure crossbreeds are something to avoid.
I'm just curious.
