Dimorphic Jumper Maevia inclemens (Walckenaer 1837) (Arachnida: Araneae: Salticidae)
EDIS, 2018 Maevia inclemens is a common jumping spider found in vines and ivy along tree lines throughout eastern North America. Learn about this interesting and possibly agriculturally beneficial spider in this 3-page fact sheet written by Laurel Lietzenmayer and

Predator mimicry: metalmark moths mimic their jumping spider predators. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2006 Cases of mimicry provide many of the nature's most convincing examples of natural selection. Here we report evidence for a case of predator mimicry in which metalmark moths in the genus Brenthia mimic jumping spiders, one of their predators.

Novel decorating behaviour of silk retreats in a challenging habitat [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Many ecological interactions of spiders with their potential prey and predators are affected by the visibility of their bodies and silk, especially in habitats with lower structural complexity that expose spiders. For instance, the surface of tree trunks

The Brushed Jumping Spiders (Araneae, Salticidae, Jotus L. Koch, 1881) from Eastern Australia [PDF]
Evolutionary Systematics, 2019 The Australian fauna of Jumping spiders (family Salticidae) is highly diverse and includes iconic lineages such as the peacock spiders (genus Maratus Karsch, 1878) that are well-known for their vibrant colours and fascinating behaviours.

Visual prey categorization by a generalist jumping spider
The European Zoological Journal, 2022 The majority of jumping spiders are visual hunters that capture a wide range of prey. While they are known to use specific predatory techniques against different prey, their prey identification mechanisms are poorly understood.

Scale dependence in hydrodynamic regime for jumping on water
Nature Communications, 2023 Inspired by semi-aquatic animals, such as water striders and fisher spiders, that can exhibit a unique locomotion mechanism involving jumping on water, the authors find the scale dependency of water jumping performance and verify it with a theoretical ...

Airborne Acoustic Perception by a Jumping Spider [PDF]
Current Biology, 2016 Jumping spiders (Salticidae) are famous for their visually driven behaviors [1]. Here, however, we present behavioral and neurophysiological evidence that these animals also perceive and respond to airborne acoustic stimuli, even when the distance between the animal and the sound source is relatively large (∼3 m) and with stimulus amplitudes at the ...

Rapid mid-jump production of high-performance silk by jumping spiders [PDF]
Current Biology, 2021 Jumping spiders (Salticidae) do not rely on webs to capture their prey, but they do spin a silk dragline behind them as they move through their habitat. They also spin this dragline during jumps, continuously connecting them with the surface they leapt from.

On three new species of jumping spiders of the genera Habrocestum Simon, 1876, Stenaelurillus Simon, 1886 and Tamigalesus Żabka, 1988 (Araneae, Salticidae) from Sri Lanka [PDF]
Evolutionary Systematics, 2020 Three new species of litter-dwelling jumping spiders, Habrocestum liptoni sp. nov., Stenaelurillus ilesai sp. nov., and Tamigalesus fabus sp. nov. are described from Sri Lanka. In addition, T.
