• Risky mate search and mate preference in the golden orb-web spider (Nephila plumipes) (2007, background): “Because many male spiders use pheromones to locate potential mates (Searcy et al. 1999; Papke et al. 2001; Gaskett et al. 2004; Kasumovic and Andrade 2004; Andrade and Kasumovic 2005; but see Anderson and Morse 2001), conditions that decrease the spread of pheromones will force males to search for l”
• Discrimination of airborne pheromones by mate- searching male western black widow spiders (Latrodectus hesperus): species- and population- specific responses (2004, background): “Contact pheromones can also provide male spiders with information about the sex, sexual maturity, and the mating status of females (Riechert and Singer 1995; Searcy et al. 1999; Papke et al. 2001).”
• Mutual Mate Assessment in Wolf Spiders: Differences in the Cues Used by Males and Females (2003, background): “Males of the jumping spider, Phiddipus johnsoni (Araneae: Salticidae), and the web spider, Agelenopsis aperta (Araneae; Agelenidae), both use pheromones to discriminate between mated and unmated females (Jackson 1981, 1982; Riechert & Singer 1995; Papke et al. 2001).”
• Changes in male mate choice in a sexually cannibalistic orb-web spider (Araneae: Araneidae) (2004, background): “Changes in pheromone production (Schulz & Toft, 1993; Papke et al., 2001 ) and female receptivity (Elgar, 1998) following mating have been documented for spiders.”
• Information content of female chemical signals in the wolf spider, Schizocosa ocreata: male discrimination of reproductive state and receptivity (2005, background): “Several pheromone compounds have recently been characterized from the silk and/or cuticle of female spiders and have been shown to play a role in mate attraction and release of male courtship behaviour (Schulz & Toft 1993; Trabalon et al. 1997; Papke et al. 2000, 2001; Tichy et al. 2001).”
