Wolf spiders

Tests with larval Utetheisa showed these to be rejected by wolf spiders, but only if the larvae had fed on Crotalaria or CS diet. Larvae raised on PB diet proved consistently palatable to the spiders (11).

As regards receipt of PA from the male, there is also the interesting fact that the female herself, rather than only the eggs, may benefit from the acquisition. Female Utetheisa devoid of alkaloid (raised on pinto bean diet), if mated with a PA-laden male, become unacceptable to wolf spiders. The effect takes hold promptly and endures females are unacceptable to spiders from the moment they uncouple from the male and they remain unacceptable as they age. Chemical data showed that the female allocates the received PA quickly to all body parts (Gonzalez et al., 1999a Rossini et al., 2001).

There have been numerous descriptions of behavioral patterns elicited by chemical cues that logically should decrease predation risk (see Sect. 18.4). However, there have been just a few studies actually documenting the benefits of antipredation behaviors in crustaceans elicited by chemical cues and the best studies have been with other taxa. Work with several fish species (Mathis and Smith 1993 Mirza and Chivers 2001, 2003), the toad Bufo boreas (Hews 1988) and the wolf spider Pardosa milvina (Persons et al. 2001), has shown increased survival rates by prey that showed antipredation behavioral patterns following detection of chemical cues...
