Comparative Mitogenomics of Jumping Spiders with First Complete Mitochondrial Genomes of Euophryini (Araneae: Salticidae) [PDF]
Salticidae is the most species-rich family of spiders with diverse morphology, ecology and behavior. However, the characteristics of the mitogenomes within this group are poorly understood with relatively few well-characterized complete mitochondrial ...

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

Rapid nectar-meal effects on a predator's capacity to kill mosquitoes [PDF]
Using Evarcha culicivora, an East African jumping spider (Salticidae), we investigate how nectar meals function in concert with predation specifically at the juvenile stage between emerging from the egg sac and the first encounter with prey. Using plants

Convergence between a mosquito-eating predator's natural diet and its prey-choice behaviour [PDF]
On the basis of 1115 records of Evarcha culicivora feeding in the field, we can characterize this East African jumping spider (Salticidae) as being distinctively stenophagic. We can also, on the basis of laboratory prey-choice experiments, characterize E.
