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 journal of arachnology, 2021 . Jumping spiders are known for complex courtship displays with both visual and vibratory components, but increasing evidence shows they also use chemoreception in intraspecific communication.

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 ...

Caldasia, 2017 Numerous new spider species are waiting to be described, and in many cases knowledge is incomplete because species are known from a single sex. In this contribution the female of the jumping spider Lyssomanes miniaceus is described and its morphology is ...

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.

Walking like an ant: a quantitative and experimental approach to understanding locomotor mimicry in the jumping spider Myrmarachne formicaria. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2017 Protective mimicry, in which a palatable species avoids predation by being mistaken for an unpalatable model, is a remarkable example of adaptive evolution.

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