“…Thus, the emitter and the receiver do not need to be present simultaneously to exchange information (Hölldobler and Wilson, 1990;Nieh, 2004;Reinhard and Kaib, 2001). Recruitment pheromones are not, however, restricted to the social insects and are found in a variety of taxa (Chapman, 1998;Wyatt, 2003) including caterpillars (Fitzgerald and Costa, 1986;Fitzgerald, 1995), social spiders (Lubin and Robinson, 1982;Vollrath, 1982;Saffre et al, 1999) and mammals (Galef and Buckley, 1996;Judd and Sherman, 1996).…”

“…Similarly, spiders modify their environment by laying down silk threads which again modifies the behaviour of the spiders encountering them (Krafft and Cookson, 2012). Social spiders and spiderlings of solitary species appear to aggregate in response to specific dragline attachment patterns and silk densities (Saffre et al, 1999;Jeanson et al, 2004). Orb-web spiders could thus rely purely on information obtained from the silk threads that it trails behind during site exploration (Zschokke, 1996), similar to how they primarily rely on information gained from the distance to the auxiliary spiral and to previously laid sticky spiral threads for the exact placement of threads during construction of the sticky spiral (Hingston, 1920;Peters, 1970;Eberhard, 2012;Eberhard and Hesselberg, 2012).…”

“…In many gregarious species, byproducts of individual activities can be used as trailing cues in diverse contexts to ensure foraging (Galef and Buckley, 1996), aggregation (Chapman, 1998), collective migration (Saffre et al, 1999) or homing (Chelazzi et al, 1990).…”
