Fluid mechanics and rheology of the jumping spider body fluid.
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 ...

Biphasic activity of a jumping spider
Individual variation is a ubiquitous and important factor that affects ecological dynamics. This study examined individual variation in the nest-use pattern of the jumping spider Phidippus audax. Although the jumping spider is a diurnal species, field observations in this study revealed that the majority of individuals remained in their nests during ...

Distance assessment of detours by jumping spiders
AbstractTo take an indirect route (detour) in order to reach a specific target requires complex cognitive processes. Yet more demanding, from the cognitive point of view, is when the goal is only visible at the beginning of the detour. In spiders from the family Salticidae, vision is a key sensory modality mediating navigation and prey search.

Visual pathways in the brain of the jumping spider Marpissa muscosa
Some animals have evolved task differentiation among their eyes. A particular example is spiders, where most species have eight eyes, of which two (the principal eyes) are used for object discrimination, whereas the other three pairs (secondary eyes ...

A gas turbine cooling system is a typical multivariable, strongly coupled, nonlinear system; however, the randomness and large disturbances make it difficult to control the variables precisely. In order to solve the problem of precise process control for
