Abstract
With females outside nests, males of P. femoratus perform complex displays consisting of dancing, rotation and quivering of the palps, and quivering of the erected legs I. Individual displays of this species seem more complex than those described for other species of Phidippus. Hypotheses concerning selection pressure favoring complexity are considered.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
