Abstract: | Patterns of behaviour associated with preventing wind-blown sand from entering the burrows of the wolf spider Geolycosa wrightii were investigated in a laboratory study. The method of closing the burrow depended upon the rate of sand entry. The spider employed a web block at low rates and used its body to block at high rates. |
