Homing Behavior and Orientation in the Funnel-Web Spider, Agelena labyrinthica Clerck

This paper reviews what is known to date about the homing abilities of the funnel-web spider and discusses recent research in this field based on new and partly unpublished data. To provide a more comprehensive overview of the ability of spiders in general to orientate, research on other species will also be considered. A theory of the optical and idiothetic navigation of the funnel web spider will be presented in Chapter XV by H. Mittelstaedt, this Volume.
