Attention and distraction in the modular visual system of a jumping spider.
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2021 Animals must selectively attend to relevant stimuli and avoid being distracted by unimportant stimuli. Jumping spiders (Salticidae) do this by coordinating eyes with different capabilities.

Fluid mechanics and rheology of the jumping spider body fluid.
Soft Matter, 2021 Spiders use their inner body fluid ("blood" or hemolymph) to drive hydraulic extension of their legs. In hydraulic systems, performance is highly dependent on the working fluid, which needs to be chosen according to the required operating speed and ...

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 ...
