Actuators, 2023 A gas turbine cooling system is a typical multivariable, strongly coupled, nonlinear system; however, the randomness and large disturbances make it difficult to control the variables precisely. In order to solve the problem of precise process control for

A wolf in sheep's clothing: The description of a fly resembling jumping spider of the genus Scoturius Simon, 1901 (Araneae: Salticidae: Huriini). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Fly resemblance in arthropods is much less common than e.g., resemblance to ants or wasps, and has been mainly observed in beetles. Putative fly mimicry in arachnids has been reported only from the jumping spider genus Saitis.

Imperfect ant mimicry contributes to local adaptation in a jumping spider. [PDF]
iScience, 2023 Summary Putative ant mimicry is a remarkable example of an evolutionary strategy that can be well integrated into the framework of natural selection and adaptation. However, challenges remain in understanding imperfect ant mimicry. Here, we combine trait

Prolonged milk provisioning in a jumping spider
Science, 2018 Spider nursery Mammals produce milk to feed their offspring, and maternal care often continues well after the young can forage for themselves. Though other cases of milk-like secretions have been found, this combination of ongoing maternal care has largely been considered a uniquely mammalian trait. Chen et al.

Study Replication: Shape Discrimination in a Conditioning Procedure on the Jumping Spider Phidippus regius. [PDF]
Animals (Basel), 2023 Jumping spiders possess a unique visual system, split into 8 different eyes and divided into two fully independent visual pathways. This peculiar organization begs the question of how visual information is processed, and whether the classically ...

Individual recognition in a jumping spider ( Phidippus regius )
bioRxiv, 2023 Individual recognition is conceptually complex and computationally intense, leading to the general assumption that this social knowledge is solely present in vertebrates with larger brains, while miniature-brained animals in differentiating societies ...

Novel Cesium Resistance Mechanism of Alkaliphilic Bacterium Isolated From Jumping Spider Ground Extract. [PDF]
Front Microbiol, 2022 The radionuclide isotopes (134Cs and 137Cs) of Cesium (Cs), an alkali metal, are attracting attention as major causes of radioactive contamination. Although Cs+ is harmful to the growth of plants and bacteria, alkaliphilic bacterium Microbacterium sp. TS-

The Impact of Retinal Configuration on the Protein-Chromophore Interactions in Bistable Jumping Spider Rhodopsin-1. [PDF]
Molecules, 2021 Bistable rhodopsins have two stable forms that can be interconverted by light. Due to their ability to act as photoswitches, these proteins are considered as ideal candidates for applications such as optogenetics.

The jumping spider Saitis barbipes lacks a red photoreceptor to see its own sexually dimorphic red coloration. [PDF]
Naturwissenschaften, 2021 Examining the role of color in mate choice without testing what colors the study animal is capable of seeing can lead to ill-posed hypotheses and erroneous conclusions.

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 ...
