Vibratory communication in the jumping spider Phidippus clarus: polyandry, male courtship signals, and mating success
The jumping spider Phidippus clarus uses signals that combine visual and substrate-borne
vibrations, which predict the outcome of male–male competition and are important to
copulation success. We investigated the function of males' substrate-borne vibrations by
examining phenotypic correlates of vibratory signal traits and assessing whether these affect
female mating and remating decisions. Virgin females were first paired with males, and
females that copulated in first trials were then paired with a second male to determine …
