Seismic communication and mate choice in wolf spiders: components of male seismic signals and mating success (2008, background): “…of the visual modality in courtship (McClintock & Uetz 1996; Uetz & Roberts 2002; Uetz et al. 2002) because females can use aspects of visual signals (leg tuft size, symmetry, courtship vigour) as indicator traits in mating decisions (Scheffer et al. 1996; Uetz & Smith 1999; Delaney et al. 2007).”
Female mate choice based upon male motor performance (2010, background): “In S. ocreata, multiple aspects of courtship signaling rate and duration are important in female mate choice (Delaney et al., 2007; Gibson and Uetz, 2008).”
Courtship effort is a better predictor of mating success than ornamentation for male wolf spiders (2009, background): “Similar measures of courtship intensity have been shown to be important for male mating success in other wolf spider species including the European drumming spider Hygrolycosa rubrofasciata (Kotiaho et al. 1998) and S. ocreata (Delaney et al. 2007).”
