Airborne Acoustic Perception by a Jumping Spider. [PDF]
Curr Biol, 2016 Jumping spiders (Salticidae) are famous for their visually driven behaviors [1]. Here, however, we present behavioral and neurophysiological evidence that these animals also perceive and respond to airborne acoustic stimuli, even when the distance between the animal and the sound source is relatively large (∼3 m) and with stimulus amplitudes at the ...

The Two-Photon Reversible Reaction of the Bistable Jumping Spider Rhodopsin-1. [PDF]
Biophys J, 2019 Bistable opsins are photopigments expressed in both invertebrates and vertebrates. These light-sensitive G-protein-coupled receptors undergo a reversible reaction upon illumination.

Scavenging by Jumping Spiders (Araneae: Salticidae) [PDF]
The Great Lakes Entomologist, 2017 Jumping spiders are usually considered obligate predators where ingestion is preceded by visual or tactile stimuli which elicit hunting behavior.

Depth Perception from Image Defocus in a Jumping Spider [PDF]
Science, 2012 The principal eyes of jumping spiders have a unique retina with four tiered photoreceptor layers, on each of which light of different wavelengths is focused by a lens with appreciable chromatic aberration.

Rapid mid-jump production of high-performance silk by jumping spiders [PDF]
Current Biology, 2021 Jumping spiders (Salticidae) do not rely on webs to capture their prey, but they do spin a silk dragline behind them as they move through their habitat. They also spin this dragline during jumps, continuously connecting them with the surface they leapt from.

A note on the depth-from-defocus mechanism of jumping spiders [PDF]
, 2017 Jumping spiders are capable of estimating the distance to their prey relying only on the information from one of their main eyes. Recently, it has been shown that jumping spiders perform this estimation based on image defocus cues.
