Information content of female chemical signals in the wolf spider, Schizocosa ocreata: male discrimination of reproductive state and receptivity (2005, background): “‘mate choice with extreme prejudice’, Persons & Uetz 2005), and therefore, discrimination ability in this species is likely to be tied to variation in mate quality.”
Seismic communication and mate choice in wolf spiders: components of male seismic signals and mating success (2008, methodology): “Likewise, a residualized relative male tuft size was scaled to body size (CW) using the same method (Uetz et al. 2002; Persons & Uetz 2005).”
Multimodal communication and mate choice in wolf spiders: female response to multimodal versus unimodal signals (2009, background): “Males of this sexually dimorphic species have conspicuous tufts of dark bristles on the forelegs, which serve as quality indicators that are important in female mate choice (Scheffer et al. 1996; Uetz et al. 1996; McClintock & Uetz 1996; Uetz & Smith 1999; Uetz 2000; Uetz et al. 2002; Persons & Uet”
Male signaling behavior and sexual selection in a wolf spider (Araneae: Lycosidae): a test for dual functions (2007, background): “In spiders, a diversity of male signaling behaviors may be a result of selection from potential sexual cannibalism, species recognition, female mate choice, or some combination of these (Robinson and Robinson 1980; Elgar 1991, 1992, 1998; Newman and Elgar 1991; Witt and Rovner 1982; Sasaki and Iwaha”
Preference for male traits in female wolf spiders varies with the choice of available males, female age and reproductive state (2007, background): “In S. ocreata, as well as a number of other spider species, female mate choice decisions often involve the choice between a mate or a meal (Persons and Uetz 2005; Johnson 2005).”
