A phylogenetic classification of jumping spiders (Araneae: Salticidae)
TL;DR: The proposed relationships indicate that a strongly ant- like body has evolved at least 12 times in salticids, and a strongly beetle-like body at least 8 times, according to both molecular and morphological information.

TL;DR: A novel educational, regional approach based on selecting, for each of the 89 IBRA regions, a relatively small set of ‘flagship taxa’ (threatened species and/or ‘iconic’ species of high scientific/social value), which are then promoted and/ or nominated for listing by the scientific community is proposed.

TL;DR: This work discusses aphids intercepted at United States ports of entry and identified by the Systematic Entomology Laboratory from 2000–2016 and comment on how the composition of species intercepted may affect the adventive species that become established.

The spectral sensitivities of identified receptors and the function of retinal tiering in the principal eyes of a jumping spider
TL;DR: The functional organisation of the central retina of the anterior median (AM) eyes of a jumping spider,Plexippus (Salticidae) is examined by anatomical, electrophysiological and optical methods and a model of the eye is derived from the data.

Multi-Modal Courtship in the Peacock Spider, Maratus volans (O.P.-Cambridge, 1874)
TL;DR: These recordings reveal and describe for the first time, that M. volans males use vibratory signals in addition to complex body ornaments and motion displays.

Stoidis aurata (Araneae, Salticidae), a spider predator of ants.
TL;DR: Stoidis aurata (Hentz), a salticid spider occurring in a variety of leaf litter habitats, was observed in the field attacking ant workers, and in the laboratory it fed on 21 of 23 ant species offered, representing 17 genera in 5 subfamilies.
