Spectral sensitivity in jumping spiders (Araneae, Salticidae)

open access: yesJournal of Comparative Physiology A, 1989
1. We report here a psychophysical technique for studying the spectral sensitivity of jumping spiders (family Salticidae), based on a newly discovered oculomotor reflex. 2. Our results, obtained from Maevia inclemens (Salticidae), are compatible with electrophysiological findings of retinal cells maximally sensitive in the green and ultraviolet regions

Jump takeoff in a small jumping spider [PDF]

open access: possibleJournal of Comparative Physiology A, 2021
Jumping in animals presents an interesting locomotory strategy as it requires the generation of large forces and accurate timing. Jumping in arachnids is further complicated by their semi-hydraulic locomotion system. Among arachnids, jumping spiders (Family Salticidae) are agile and dexterous jumpers.

Predatory Behavior of Jumping Spiders

Annual Review of Entomology, 1996
Salticids, the largest family of spiders, have unique eyes, acute vision, and elaborate vision-mediated predatory behavior, which is more pronounced than in any other spider group. Diverse predatory strategies have evolved, including araneophagy, aggressive mimicry, myrmicophagy, and prey-specific prey-catching behavior. Salticids are also distinctive

Jumping spider phylogeny (Araneae : Salticidae)

Invertebrate Systematics, 2003
A phylogenetic analysis of five sequenced genes ( 28S , 16S , EF1 -a, CO1 , ND1 ) from 81 genera of jumping spiders (Salticidae) and five outgroups supports the monophyly of the Dendryphantinae and Euophryinae and refines the concepts of the Plexippinae and Pelleninae.

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.

Rearing environment affects behaviour of jumping spiders

Animal Behaviour, 2000
We tested the effect of rearing conditions on the behaviour of jumping spiders, Phidippus audax. Spiders were assigned randomly to either small or large cages that either were empty or contained a painted dowel. Laboratory-reared spiders were raised from second instar to adult in these environments.
