DOI: 10.1007/s10164-020-00674-y
Abstract: Ants and jumping spiders are prominent invertebrate predators in terrestrial ecosystems. Many jumping spiders are thought to avoid ants and their ant mimicking spiders, yet little is known if they discriminate among different species of… read more here.

Complex interactions between temperature, sexual signals and mate choice in a desert-dwelling jumping spider
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Animal Behaviour"
DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2020.10.010
Abstract: Environmental context is a crucial factor that influences sexual communication systems. Particularly in ectotherms, which cannot metabolically regulate their body temperature, temperature has an outsized effect on these intraspecific interactions. Using the desert-dwelling jumping spider… read more here.

Males discriminate between substrate-borne cues of conspecific females based on age and mating status in the jumping spider, Habronattus brunneus
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Royal Society Open Science"
DOI: 10.1098/rsos.240658
Abstract: Sexual selection is often studied with a focus on female mate choice, wherein females evaluate male signals to select an optimal mate. However, in some systems, males should also make careful decisions about the females… read more here.

DOI: 10.1101/2023.11.17.567545
Abstract: 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… read more here.
