Miriam Scriba

Miriam Scriba is a Doctoral Researcher in Behavioral Biology at the University of Hamburg, affiliated with the Faculty of Mathematics, Computer Science and Natural Sciences and the Institute of Animal Cell and Systems Biology. Her research focuses on the evolution of visual systems and the diversity of eye designs in nature, particularly investigating the optics of jumping spider eyes.

Her work explores how jumping spiders, known for their visually guided courtship and predatory behavior, perceive their environment. She aims to determine the focal distances at which these spiders receive in-focus images and analyze the relationship between their visual capabilities and behavioral patterns.
