Description

Raw data on substratum-coupled vibration signals (stridulation, percussion) of spiders with and without bacterial infection. In this study, we investigated the ability of the vibratory cues in multimodal sexual signals of Schizocosa ocreata wolf spiders to convey male health information to a female, and whether females adjust their mate choice decisions based on these cues.

Steps to reproduce

Laser Doppler vibrometry - Substrate-borne vibrations were recorded using a PDV-100 laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV) (at 125 mm/s/V sensitivity, 500 mm/s max, 96-mm standoff distance) connected to an external sound card (Roland QuadCapture) and calibrated with a 1-kHz tone (LDV at 50% FS).
