• ... that male spiders of the species Zygiella x-notata use vibrational courtship signals when entering a female's web to alert her of his presence as a potential mate rather than potential prey?

  • ALT1:... that Zygiella x-notata spiders received their common name, the missing-sector orb-weaver, by spinning webs with an area free of silk spirals (not including the signal thread) in the upper half of the web?

• @SlyFox52: This is an interesting and impressive article and is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and either hook could be used, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. This seems to be your first DYK nomination, so no QPQ is needed. Although the article is largely well-cited, the last sentence in a paragraph is often uncited. If a citation refers to several sentences, it should be after the last one rather than in the middle. And while you are looking at the references, the MOS suggests they should appear immediately after the sentence they apply to without an intervening space.

• @Cwmhiraeth: Thank you for giving it a look! I went back and changed the citation formatting according to your recommendations. I hope this helps!. SlyFox52 (talk) 04:03, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

• Thank you. I prefer the original hook but am approving both. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:09, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
