Sexual signalling is influenced by environmental conditions, but limited focus has been given to the influence of light conditions on mating strategies in spiders. The males Pisaura mirabilis (Clerck, 1757) produce nuptial gifts wrapping dead prey with silk, and female mate choice relies complex signals involving visual, behavioural, vibratory, chemical cues. Considering former, we first examined natural illumination experienced their habitat. Specifically, compared levels spiders situated leaves those found within denser vegetation where they typically reside. In laboratory, manipulated visual during courtship using white (high visibility) red (low light, blocked male spinnerets dental silicone assess impact males’ ability silk success. aim study was examine effect investment feeding. places spend time outside wild were 40 times brighter than habitats inside vegetation. success not significantly dependent under lights invested more effort production lights. Males had a lower silk-intact males. although unable also attempts wrap gift or silk-blocked These results suggest that an interplay between behaviour highlighting significance taking into account spider research.
