Ein Beitrag zur Springspinnenfauna (Araneae, Salticidae) der griechischen Dodekanes-Insel Rhodos mit der Neubeschreibung von Pseudeuophrys rhodiensis und sechs weiteren Erstnachweisen

open access: yesArachnologische Mitteilungen, 2018
During a recent survey of jumping spiders on the Greek Dodecanese island of Rhodes, a total of 24 species from 21 genera were recorded. One species, Pseudeuophrys rhodiensis Schäfer sp. nov., is here described as new.

Low temperatures impact species distributions of jumping spiders across a desert elevational cline. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Temperature is known to influence many aspects of organisms and is frequently linked to geographical species distributions. Despite the importance of a broad understanding of an animal's thermal biology, few studies incorporate more than one metric of ...

Convergent? Minds? Some questions about mental evolution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In investigating convergent minds, we need to be sure that the things we are looking at are both minds and convergent. In determining whether a shared character state represents a convergence between two organisms, we must know the wider distribution and

The deep phylogeny of jumping spiders (Araneae, Salticidae) [PDF]

open access: yesZooKeys, 2014
In order to resolve better the deep relationships among salticid spiders, we compiled and analyzed a molecular dataset of 169 salticid taxa (and 7 outgroups) and 8 gene regions. This dataset adds many new taxa to previous analyses, especially among the non-salticoid salticids, as well as two new genes - wingless and myosin heavy chain.

Island time and the interplay between ecology and evolution in species diversification. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Research on the dynamics of biodiversity has progressed tremendously over recent years, although in two separate directions - ecological, to determine change over space at a given time, and evolutionary, to understand change over time.

Strong‐Magnetic Flexible Composites for Magnetically Responsive Soft Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This perspective provides an overview of the performance mechanisms, preparation methods, and applications of strong magnetic flexible composite materials in soft actuators (such as gripping, movement, and sensing), and further explores current opportunities and challenges.

Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.
