Crab Spider Lures Prey In Flowerless Neighborhoods [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2017
AbstractOne fundamental question in prey luring systems is to understand how visual signals are interpreted by the receiver. Predators lure prey by falsely imitating the signal of a model, or may exploit sensory preferences of the receivers, which search for rewarding signals.
