We (Massimo De Agrò and Chiara Matchunas) wanted to see if this trick works on ants. So we let them find food which was in one big drop after walking a long way (ants hate walking far), and then find food which was split up over the long way to the final food location.
Jumping spiders can distinguish animate from inanimate objects based solely on visual motion characteristics ('biological motion' of a body comprising jointed segments) — previously known only in vertebrates Massimo De Agrò Dr. Daniela Rößler #PLOSBiology plos.io/2VFsJk8

'Spenta la luce, i ragni si arrampicano sul tetto della scatolina, si appendono a un filo di seta e... dormono. Entrano in una fase REM: muovono involontariamente le zampe e gli occhi' Massimo De Agrò Università di Firenze ora in onda
'Di 8 occhi, i 2 centrali hanno una forma simile a un cannocchiale: nei giovani ragni, con esoscheletro trasparente, si può osservare il movimento del fondo oculare di questi ragni. Questo movimento oculare rapido contraddistingue la fase REM' Massimo De Agrò Università di Firenze
What a wonderful experience! Huge thanks to Società Italiana di Etologia for organising this exciting event, and to the co-authors of the awarded paper Massimo De Agrò and Lucia Regolin 🐣🔍🧠
Jumping spiders can distinguish biological motion! 😍 Congrats on this cool work Massimo De Agrò & co-authors
Very exciting new jumping spider work from Dr. Daniela Rößler, Massimo De Agrò, Kris Kim and Paul Shamble!
New research from the lab of Paul Shamble, first author Massimo De Agrò, demonstrating that jumping spiders can distinguish between animate and inanimate objects — an ability previously detected only in humans and other vertebrates. Harvard University Gazette
