Social spiders are thought to predominantly receive information about their environment through vibrational cues. Thus, group living introduces the challenge of distinguishing useful vibrational information from the background noise of nestmates. Here we investigate whether spatial proximity between colony-mates may allow social spiders (<i>Stegodyphus dumicola</i>) to reduce background noise that might obstruct vibrational information from prey. To do so, we constructed experimental colonies an ...[more]
