Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.We tested whether male and female wolf spiders (Hogna carolinensis) differ in how they regulate and excrete micronutrients. Our ecological experiment revealed significant differences in whole‐body and excreta elemental composition between sexes, providing new insight into how predator physiology shapes predator‐mediated nutrient cycles.
