This paper develops a dynamical model to show how spiders use constant-strain dragline silk to control abseiling and jumping, ensuring stable movement and landing.

This paper describes optogenetic methods to study neural circuits controlling biting behavior in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, using behavioral assays and machine vision for quantification.

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.

This study shows that neuronal computations for motion detection in dragonflies and macaques similarly combine low- and high-order motion cues, suggesting a shared computational strategy.
