• Aerial dispersal plasticity under different wind velocities in a salt marsh wolf spider (2007, background): “Ballooning is characterized by stereotypic behavioral adaptations, referred to as tiptoe behavior (e.g., Weyman et al. 2002; Bell et al. 2005).”
• Geographical variation in wolf spider dispersal behaviour is related to landscape structure (2006, methodology): “These heterogeneous results suggest the existence of, and interaction between, multiple selective forces, whether or not combined with proximate determinants such as weather conditions, food shortage or crowding (reviewed in Weyman et al. 2002).”
• Landscape effects on recolonisation patterns of spiders in arable fields (2008, unknown): “An important difference between the two families is their respective modes of dispersal; Linyphiidae constitutes a high proportion of aeronauts over agroecosystems, and lycosid spiders move mainly by walking (Luczak, 1979; Weyman et al., 2002).”
• Ballooning of spiders (Araneae) in Switzerland: General Results from an Eleven-Year Survey (2009, background): “Recently, important reviews of this phenomenon have been published (Bell et al., 2005; Weyman et al., 2002).”
• Composition, abundance and pest control potential of spider communities in agroecosystems: a comparison of European and US studies (2003, background): “Ballooning is the major mode by which agroecosystems are colonised by spiders (Bi hop and Riechert, 1990; Weyman, 1993; Thorbek et al., 2002; Weyman et al., 2002).”
• Information use and density-dependent emigration in an agrobiont spider (2010, background): “It only occurs under suitable weather conditions (the meteorological window: low wind velocity, large differences between night and day temperatures inducing upward currents; Richter 1970) and is hypothesized to be induced by overcrowding (Weyman et al. 2002).”
