The complexities of wolf spider communication: Exploring courtship signal function in <i>Rabidosa rabida</i>

Review of the Australian wolf spider genus Venator (Araneae, Lycosidae).

Species of the Australian wolf spider genus Venator are reviewed including the type species, V. spenceri Hogg, 1900, from south-eastern Australia and V. immansuetus (Simon, 1909) comb. nov., a common species in south-west Western Australia. Venator marginatus Hogg, 1900 is only known from two female specimens and the genital morphology of this species does not conform to the diagnosis of genus ...

Visual odometry in the wolf spider Lycosa tarantula (Araneae: Lycosidae).

The wolf spider Lycosa tarantula homes using path integration. The angular component of the displacement is measured using a polarized-light compass associated with the functioning of the anterior median eyes. However, how L. tarantula estimates the linear component of the displacement was not known prior to this investigation. The ability of L. tarantula to gauge the distance walked after bein...
