Seismic communication and mate choice in wolf spiders: components of male seismic signals and mating success (2008, background): “However, we cannot exclude the multiple message hypothesis because seismic signals of lycosids are complex (see Elias et al. 2006a, b), and additional elements not yet examined may convey different information.”
A phylogenetic classification of jumping spiders (Araneae: Salticidae) (2015, background): “…its complex and colourful courtship traits (Peckham & Peckham 1889, 1890; Maddison & Stratton 1988; Richman & Cutler 1998; Maddison & McMahon 2000; Elias et al. 2003, 2005, 2006a, b, 2012; Hebets & Maddison 2005; Taylor & McGraw 2013; Taylor et al. 2014a), visual system (Zurek et al. 2015) and…”
Orchestrating the score: complex multimodal courtship in the Habronattus coecatus group of Habronattus jumping spiders (Araneae: Salticidae) (2012, methodology): “In addition, unique, independently produced visual signals are precisely coordinated with distinct substrate-borne signals (Elias et al., 2006d).”
