Pheromones induce visuomotor arousal in jumping spiders

This study investigates whether pheromones influence visual attention in jumping spiders, finding that pheromones increase body and eye movement but do not specifically prime attention toward congruent stimuli.

Predator sounds disrupt visual attention in jumping spiders

This study shows that predator sounds disrupt visual attention in jumping spiders by increasing non-directed eye movements rather than guiding gaze toward the sound source.

Urbanization effects are trait-specific and city-dependent across a widespread spider's global range

The paper examines how urbanization affects specific traits of the European garden spider across 22 cities, finding trait-specific and city-dependent responses.

Biological point-light displays scanning by the principal eyes of a jumping spider

This study shows jumping spiders use their shape-detecting eyes to process both motion type and implied structure from dot clouds, revealing complex integration of motion and form processing.
