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 ...

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.

Jumping Locomotion Strategies: From Animals to Bioinspired Robots
Applied Sciences, 2020 Jumping is a locomotion strategy widely evolved in both invertebrates and vertebrates. In addition to terrestrial animals, several aquatic animals are also able to jump in their specific environments. In this paper, the state of the art of jumping robots

DESCRIPTION OF \u3ci\u3eHAKKA\u3c/i\u3e, A NEW GENUS OF JUMPING SPIDER (ARANEAE, SALTICIDAE) FROM HAWAII AND EAST ASIA [PDF]
, 2001 We describe a new genus for a jumping spider that was originally placed in the large genus Menemerus Simon 1868, from which the new genus is clearly different. They were later reclassified as Icius, then as Pseudicius, and still later as Salticus.

From the Field to the Laboratory: The Theory‐Practice Research of Peter J. Carnevale
Negotiation and Conflict Management Research, EarlyView., 2020 Abstract As colleagues and collaborators, we reflect on the work and legacy of Peter Carnevale, currently professor at the University of Southern California, and recipient of the 2002 Jeffrey Z. Rubin Theory‐to‐Practice Award of the International Association for Conflict Management (IACM). We review Carnevale’s main contributions, including his work on

No evidence for the perception of the peripheral drift illusion in jumping spiders
HeliyonIn 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.

Biphasic activity of a jumping spider
Naturwissenschaften, 2010 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 ...
