400 | Good Vibrations: Investigating Postures of Black-Widow Spiders


Listen Later

This week, hosts Carly Charon and Meghan Voll interview PhD student Hossein Asgari about his research using 3-D marker-less tracking to investigate locomotion on black widow spiders. Hossein talks about the effect particular vibrations have on spider’s behaviour and ability to detect prey, and whether they actually use differing postures to better make sense of these vibrations. 

To find out more about Hossein and his work, go check out his Twitter (@hoss_asg).

Recorded on November 15, 2022.

Produced by Jordan VanderBurgt.
