We presented larvae with filter paper exposed to different types of spiders (adult female, adult male, or juvenilejumping spiders) versus a no-cue control. Larvae spent more time on filter paper with spider cues. We then tested the hypothesis that mantidflies make finer distinctions between ...

All land-use types drove species replacement and trait loss and replacement of grassland spiders. Each land-use showed a characteristic species and trait composition. Most of the grassland traits were not lost but were under or over-represented according to the land-use type. Only in soybean ...
The woodland jumping mouse is found in varioustypes of forestsin North America. This mouse is a medium-sized rodent that matches zapus mice (found in North America) in size. Woodland jumping mice have a white tail tip, brighter colors, and no small upper premolar, so they’re different fr...
We found that zebra jumping spiders had a higher functional response when foraging on small midges than when foraging on large midges. Rather than indicating a preference for small midges, this difference sets the correct null expectation for choice experiments, and when offered a choice of prey ...
Beside ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), the most abundant taxa collected were ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) and click beetles (Coleoptera: Elateridae), house flies (Diptera: Muscidae), butterflies (Lepidoptera: Pieridae), and field crickets (Orthoptera: Gryllidae), with jumping spiders (...
The cluster eye approach, which is based on a mixture of superposition compound eyes and the vision system of jumping spiders, produces a regular image. Here, three microlens arrays of different pitch form arrays of Keplerian microtelescopes with tilted optical axes, including a field lens. The...
