Abstract: Movement of organisms is an increasingly important part of population dynamics. In the pond ecosystem used in this study, wolf spiders (Araneae: Lycosidae) are important predators, so their movement could have large affects on the rest of the ecosystem. The purpose of this study was to study the movement and distribution of wolf spiders along a pond boundary. We used six transects starting at the pond edge and going 17 m into the forest to determine the distribution. Two mark-recapture studies were done and the program Mark was used to determine the probability of movement by the spiders . We found that most spiders were at the edge of the pond, except for one species, which had more in the forested areas. The mark-recapture studies showed the spiders moved very little. This brings up questions concerning wolf spiders survival and hunting strategies as well focusing future research on seasonal or small-scale movement.
