Summary

Jumping spiders (Araneae, Family Salticidae) are an appealing group for the study of learning and cognition because of their alert, active behaviour and reliance on visual information that is easy to experimentally manipulate. In this chapter, we describe the typical morphology, behaviour, and ecology of jumping spiders, with an emphasis on the influence of these characteristics on study design. Particularly important is the unusual visual system of jumping spiders: the secondary eyes are particularly attuned to motion, and the visual field almost completely surrounds the spider, meaning that special care needs to be taken to avoid distracting spiders in behavioural tests. Jumping spiders also incorporate other sensory modalities into their decision making, including vibration, chemical cues, and sound. Practical techniques for marking and following spiders in the field, designing experimental arenas in the laboratory, and incorporating video presentations of stimuli will be provided. We will also offer cautionary notes about how even seemingly subtle differences in design can profoundly affect the success of experiments.
