An Optimised Spider-Inspired Soft Actuator for Extraterrestrial Exploration [PDF]
BiomimeticsExtraterrestrial exploration presents unique challenges for robotic systems, as traditional rigid rovers face limitations in stowage volume, traction on unpredictable terrain, and susceptibility to damage. Soft robotics offers promising solutions through

Neurobiology: Jumping Spiders Getting On Board [PDF]
Current Biology, 2014 A new technique has overcome decades of failure to allow, for the first time, electrophysiological access to the brains of jumping spiders, a group of animals renowned for generating highly complex, seemingly vertebrate-like behavior from their tiny arthropod brains.

Mantidfly larvae use cues on substrate to locate and distinguish different sexes and life stages of potential spider hosts [PDF]
Scientific ReportsIn many animals, early-life decisions influence long-term fitness. Mantidflies are spider egg predators; their tiny larvae climb aboard spiders to find eggs, but little is known about how they find spiders. We tested the hypothesis that mantidfly larvae (

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 ...

Regal Jumping Spider, Phidippus regius C. L. Koch (Arachnida: Salticidae)
EDIS, 2003 Except for two pantropical species (Edwards 1979), the jumping spider most frequently encountered in Florida is Phidippus regius C.L. Koch. This species is aptly named in terms of its size, as it is the largest jumping spider in eastern North America ...

Sexual selection driving diversification in jumping spiders [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2002 Theory predicts that speciation rates should be accelerated in organisms undergoing sexual selection. In systems involving female choice, sexual selection acts directly on traits that may be important in prezygotic reproductive isolation, potentially fostering rapid divergence of such traits among allopatric populations. Despite the appeal

Perception of biological motion by jumping spiders
PLOS Biology, 2021 The body of most creatures is composed of interconnected joints. During motion, the spatial location of these joints changes, but they must maintain their distances to one another, effectively moving semirigidly. This pattern, termed “biological motion” in the literature, can be used as a visual cue, enabling many animals (including humans) to ...
