(Phys.org)—A trio of researchers, two from the University of California and one from the University of New South Wales, has found that female peacock spiders prefer a multi-modal manner of courtship from potential mates. In their paper published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, Madeline Girard, Damian Elias and Michael Kasumovic describe their study of the tiny spiders and what their study has added to the general knowledge of female preferences regarding mate selection where there are examples of extreme ornamentation on display.
