Best Vision in the Animal Kingdom: Meet the Jumping Spiders!
In this informative video I decided to put together I wanted to share some truly amazing facts with you on the Genus Maratus, also known as Peacock Spiders. All footage & the compilation of images shown at the end were taken by me over a period of a few weeks. The main information I used was from the article titled "Peacock Spiders", written by John A. Endler & Madeline B. Girard ( Current Biology, Quick Guide | Volume 24, Issue 13, PR588-R590, July 07, 2014 ) : https://www.cell.com/current-biology/... I also used an in infographic from the article titled "Spectral filtering enables trichromatic vision in colorful jumping spiders" by the following authors: Daniel B.Zurek, Thomas W.Cronin, Lisa A.Taylor, KevinByrne, Mara L.G.Sullivan, Nathan I.Morehouse Source: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science... The other infographic used was from the article titled "Visual Perception in the Brain of a Jumping Spider", written by Gil Melinda, Paul S. Shamble, Eyal I. Nitzani, James R. Golden, Ronald R. Hoy (Current Biology, Report | Volume 24, Issue 21, P2580-2585, November 03, 2014 ): https://www.cell.com/current-biology/... The other scientific paper ("An illustrated review of the known peacock spiders of the genus Maratus from Australian with description of a new species" written by Jürgen C. Otto & David E. Hill ) I briefly referred to in the video can be accessed here: https://peckhamia.com/peckhamia/PECKH...
