Hanging by a thread: unusual nocturnal resting behaviour in a jumping spider. [PDF]
Front Zool, 2021 For diurnal animals that heavily rely on vision, a nocturnal resting strategy that offers protection when vision is compromised, is crucial. We found a population of a common European jumping spider (Evarcha arcuata) that rests at night by suspending ...

Crystal structure of jumping spider rhodopsin-1 as a light sensitive GPCR. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2019 Significance Photosensitive G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have been used as model systems in the study of class A GPCRs. These are classified into mono- and bistable rhodopsins based on the thermal stability of their active states. Although much is

Design of Gas Turbine Cooling System Based on Improved Jumping Spider Optimization Algorithm
Machines, 2022 The gas turbine cooling system is a complex MIMO system with a strong coupling, nonlinear, time-varying and large disturbance amplitude. In order to automatically control the target flow, target temperature and pipeline pressure, in this paper, the ...

Visual prey categorization by a generalist jumping spider
The European Zoological Journal, 2022 The majority of jumping spiders are visual hunters that capture a wide range of prey. While they are known to use specific predatory techniques against different prey, their prey identification mechanisms are poorly understood.

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 ...
