Perception of biological motion by jumping spiders. [PDF]
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.

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

Individual recognition in a jumping spider (Phidippus regius) [PDF]
eLife, 2023 Individual recognition is conceptually complex and computationally intense, leading to the general assumption that this social knowledge is solely present in vertebrates with larger brains, while miniature-brained animals in differentiating societies ...

A Comparative Analysis of the Camera-like Eyes of Jumping Spiders and Humans [PDF]
Vision, 2021 Among invertebrates, jumping spiders are one of the few groups whose representatives have camera-like eyes, and the only group whose representatives have fovea.

Pantropical Jumping Spiders in Florida
EDIS, 2003 Jumping spiders, or salticids, are so named because they have a highly coordinated jumping ability with which they capture prey and traverse from plant to plant. Their sense of sight is extraordinary for invertebrates; they can see in color (DeVoe 1975),

Distance assessment of detours by jumping spiders. [PDF]
Curr Zool, 2020 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.

Conspicuous stripes on prey capture attention and reduce attacks by foraging jumping spiders [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2023 Many animals avoid predation using aposematic displays that pair toxic/dangerous defences with conspicuous achromatic warning patterns, such as high-contrast stripes.

A note on the depth-from-defocus mechanism of jumping spiders [PDF]
Biomimetics (Basel), 2017 Jumping spiders are capable of estimating the distance to their prey relying only on the information from one of their main eyes. Recently, it has been shown that jumping spiders perform this estimation based on image defocus cues.

Scavenging by Jumping Spiders (Araneae: Salticidae) [PDF]
The Great Lakes Entomologist, 2017 Jumping spiders are usually considered obligate predators where ingestion is preceded by visual or tactile stimuli which elicit hunting behavior.
