J Exp Biol
. 2023 Nov;
226(24).
PMID: 37942703
Most mosquito and midge species use hearing during acoustic mating behaviors. For frog-biting species, however, hearing plays an important role beyond mating as females rely on anuran calls to obtain...

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 2022 Mar;
119(14):e2122789119.
PMID: 35349337
SignificanceThe sense of hearing in all known animals relies on possessing auditory organs that are made up of cellular tissues and constrained by body sizes. We show that hearing in...

Bruce M, Daye D, Long S, Winsor A, Menda G, Hoy R, et al.
J Exp Biol
. 2021 Apr;
224(8).
PMID: 33914032
Animals must selectively attend to relevant stimuli and avoid being distracted by unimportant stimuli. Jumping spiders (Salticidae) do this by coordinating eyes with different capabilities. Objects are examined by a...

Stafstrom J, Menda G, Nitzany E, Hebets E, Hoy R
Curr Biol
. 2020 Oct;
30(24):5033-5039.e3.
PMID: 33125863
Prey capture behavior among spiders varies greatly from passive entrapment in webs to running down prey items on foot. Somewhere in the middle are the ogre-faced, net-casting spiders [1] (Deinopidae:...

Menda G, Nitzany E, Shamble P, Wells A, Harrington L, Miles R, et al.
Curr Biol
. 2019 Feb;
29(4):709-714.e4.
PMID: 30744970
Mating behavior in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes occurs mid-air and involves the exchange of auditory signals at close range (millimeters to centimeters) [1-6]. It is widely assumed that this intimate signaling...

Shamble P, Menda G, Golden J, Nitzany E, Walden K, Beatus T, et al.
Curr Biol
. 2016 Oct;
26(21):2913-2920.
PMID: 27746028
Jumping spiders (Salticidae) are famous for their visually driven behaviors [1]. Here, however, we present behavioral and neurophysiological evidence that these animals also perceive and respond to airborne acoustic stimuli,...

Menda G, Shamble P, Nitzany E, Golden J, Hoy R
Curr Biol
. 2014 Oct;
24(21):2580-5.
PMID: 25308077
Jumping spiders (Salticidae) are renowned for a behavioral repertoire that can seem more vertebrate, or even mammalian, than spider-like in character. This is made possible by a unique visual system...

Menda G, Uhr J, Wyttenbach R, Vermeylen F, Smith D, Harrington L, et al.
J Exp Biol
. 2012 Sep;
216(Pt 2):218-23.
PMID: 22996441
Associative learning has been shown in a variety of insects, including the mosquitoes Culex quinquefasciatus and Anopheles gambiae. This study demonstrates associative learning for the first time in Aedes aegypti,...

PMID: 21832129
The role of sound in Drosophila melanogaster courtship, along with its perception via the antennae, is well established, as is the ability of this fly to learn in classical conditioning...
