Ogre-Faced Spiders Hear Flying Prey Coming / Curr. Biol., Oct. 29, 2020 (Vol. 30, Issue 24)

Описание к видео Ogre-Faced Spiders Hear Flying Prey Coming / Curr. Biol., Oct. 29, 2020 (Vol. 30, Issue 24)

In this video, Stafstrom et al. demonstrate that ogre-faced, net-casting spiders are acoustically sensitive to a wide range of airborne tonal frequencies. They also show spiders behaviorally respond to low-frequency tones as if capturing a flying insect, but do not behaviorally respond to high-frequency tones in a foraging context. The role of the metatarsal organ in airborne acoustic detection is also discussed.
