Static visual predator recognition in jumping spiders [PDF]
Functional Ecology, 2021 Abstract Visually detecting, recognizing and responding appropriately to predators increases survival. Failure to detect a predator or long decision time carries high and potentially fatal costs. Consequently, many animals show general anti‐predatory responses towards threatening stimuli, for example, looming objects.

Visual signals in the wing display of a tephritid fly deter jumping spider attacks.
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2022 Visual animal communication, whether to the same or to other species, is largely conducted through dynamic and colourful signals. For a signal to be effective, the signaller must capture and retain the attention of the receiver.

Visual Perception in the Brain of a Jumping Spider [PDF]
Current Biology, 2014 Jumping spiders (Salticidae) are renowned for a behavioral repertoire that can seem more vertebrate, or even mammalian, than spider-like in character. This is made possible by a unique visual system that supports their stalking hunting style and elaborate mating rituals in which the bizarrely marked and colored appendages of males highlight their song ...

Innate pattern recognition and categorization in a jumping spider. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2014 The East African jumping spider Evarcha culicivora feeds indirectly on vertebrate blood by preferentially preying upon blood-fed Anopheles mosquitoes, the vectors of human malaria1, using the distinct resting posture and engorged abdomen characteristic of these specific prey as key elements for their recognition. To understand perceptual categorization

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.

Phylogenetic, ecological and morphological characteristics reveal two new spider-associated genera in Clavicipitaceae [PDF]
MycoKeys, 2022 Clavicipitaceous fungi are pathogenic to scale insects, white flies and other insect orders. However, a few species are spider-associated. Two new genera from China, Neoaraneomyces and Pseudometarhizium, are described based on phylogenetic, ecological ...

Rapid mid-jump production of high-performance silk by jumping spiders [PDF]
Current Biology, 2021 Jumping spiders (Salticidae) do not rely on webs to capture their prey, but they do spin a silk dragline behind them as they move through their habitat. They also spin this dragline during jumps, continuously connecting them with the surface they leapt from.
