Revalidation of the jumping spider genus Cheliceroides Żabka, 1985 based on molecular and morphological data (Araneae, Salticidae). [PDF]
ZookeysAbstract The monotypic genus Cheliceroides Żabka, 1985 is revalidated based on both molecular sequence data (ultra-conserved elements and protein coding genes of mitochondrial genomes) and morphological evidence. Our molecular phylogenetic analyses show

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

Lack of neophobic responses to color in a jumping spider that uses color cues when foraging (Habronattus pyrrithrix). [PDF]
PLoS One, 2021 Chemically defended prey often advertise their toxins with bright and conspicuous colors. To understand why such colors are effective at reducing predation, we need to understand the psychology of key predators.

Habituation to visual stimuli is personality-independent in a jumping spider
bioRxiv, 2023 Jumping spiders display some of the richest visually-mediated behaviors in nature. Vision is indeed the most important sensory modality in these spiders where motion detection and response to visual stimuli allow key behaviors such as hunting, escaping ...

Hemipteran defensive odors trigger predictable color biases in jumping spider predators. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 Multimodal warning displays often pair one signal modality (odor) with a second modality (color) to avoid predation. Experiments with bird predators suggest these signal components interact synergistically, with aversive odors triggering otherwise hidden

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

AN ENHANCED JUMPING SPIDER OPTIMIZATION ALGORITHM [PDF]
Carpathian Journal of Electrical Engineering, 2022 Jumping Spider Optimization (JSO) algorithm is a more recent meta-heuristic algorithm shown to outperform recent algorithms in the literature. This paper presents a JSO variant that modifies standard JSO in its global search and jumping on prey phases to
