No evidence for the perception of the peripheral drift illusion in jumping spiders
In the peripheral drift illusion, a static circular sawtooth pattern is perceived as if it were rotating. It is believed that this effect is a byproduct of how the neural substrate responsible for motion perception is organized.

Individual recognition in a jumping spider (Phidippus regius) [PDF]
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 eschew the evolutionary pressure for individual recognition by evolving ...

A Note on the Depth-from-Defocus Mechanism of Jumping Spiders [PDF]
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. In order to gain insight into the mechanisms involved in this blur-to-distance mapping as performed by the spider and to ...

Unintended importation of tropical jumping spiders (Salticidae) into a laboratory monkey colony via banana supply. [PDF]
This report describes a case of unintended importation of tropical baby jumping spiders to a laboratory monkey colony. The spiders were detected in a cocoon attached to a banana for monkey consumption.

Predator mimicry: metalmark moths mimic their jumping spider predators. [PDF]
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]
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
