Lallo & Uetz Gladicosa bellamyi communication

We tested the hypotheses that male Gladicosa bellamyi court females using multimodal signals, and that these signals were related to male mating success. Using a laser Doppler vibrometer and video camera, we characterized the vibratory and visual courtship signals of male G. bellamyi.

我们验证了两项假说：其一，雄性贝氏格狼蛛（Gladicosa bellamyi）会通过多模态信号向雌性个体求偶；其二，此类信号与雄性的交配成功率存在关联。我们借助激光多普勒测振仪（laser Doppler vibrometer）与摄像机（video camera），对雄性G. bellamyi的振动求偶信号与视觉求偶信号进行了表征。
