The influence of sensory information on patch residence time in wolf spiders (Araneae: Lycosidae)
Article Abstract:
Sensory cues devoid of food reward strongly influence patch residence time in wolf spiders. Spiders spend more time in patches with visual cues alone or both visual and vibratory cues as compared to those with only vibratory information. The behavior of 60 mature females of the common wolf spider, Schizocosa ocreata, are studied in a four-chambered artificial foraging patch. The spiders can move freely from chamber to chamber and change patch residence time using visual cues that do not involve sampling or prior experience.

Hunger effects on foraging responses to perceptual cues in immature and adult wolf spiders (Lycosidae)
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to investigate how hunger influences the foraging responses to perceptual cues of immature and adult wolf spiders called Schizocosa acreata. Results indicate that the hunger state has no direct effects on residence time. However, the level of hunger may influence the type of visual or vibratory information received. It was also observed that ontogenetic and sex-specific foraging techniques are more affected by the utilization of prefeeding perceptual cues rather than the hunger state in wolf spiders.
