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 ...

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.

The influence of camouflage and prey type on predatory decisions of jumping spider [PDF]
, 2013 Decisions made by predators during predatory encounters are often based on multiple factors that may influence the outcome of the encounters. For stalking predators their visibility to the prey and the ability of their prey to escape may be important ...

The Tarantula Atypus Milberti in Michigan (Araneae: Atypidae) [PDF]
, 2017 Excerpt: The arachnid genus Atypus (family Atypidae, suborder Mygalomorphae) contains four species in North America. These tarantulas are atypical because they have retained remnants of the primitive segmentation characteristic of Mesozoic spiders; the ...

Ground spider communities in experimentally disturbed Mediterranean woodland habitats [PDF]
, 2011 The protected Mediterranean woodland habitats in Israel are undergoing tree encroachment, resulting in loss of open patches with herbaceous vegetation. We suggested that this process results in a ground spider community dominated by shade-loving species.
