Abstract

What a male finds attractive in a female can vary depending on experience and context. In the brush-legged wolf spider, when compared to lab-reared males, males that develop under natural conditions care less about a female’s mating history when she is available to court but are less interested in a mated female when her location is uncertain. Further studies may shine light on the causes and benefits of these differences.
