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.

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 ...

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

Jumping spider invades an orb web to prey on a resident male
Ecosphere, 2023 While surveying operational sex ratios of the giant golden orb weaver Nephila pilipes (Fabricius, 1793) in Singapore, we documented a stunning case of predatory behavior of a jumping spider Viciria pavesii Thorell, 1877. A female V.
