DESCRIPTION:Change notice: CANCELED\nMuch remains unknown about the diversi
 ty and evolution of sleep in invertebrates. Recent findings reveal compell
 ing evidence for REM sleep–like behaviors in jumping spiders\, including
  retinal movements and limb twitches. These behaviors\, observed in a visu
 ally guided lineage far removed from vertebrates\, challenge long-standing
  assumptions about the uniqueness of REM sleep. Building on these insights
 \, we have begun systematically recording sleep behaviors across the spide
 r tree of life. Our findings suggest that sleep is a universal feature in 
 spiders\, marked by distinct and robust behavioral signatures. This opens 
 new avenues to explore the function and evolution of sleep—particularly 
 REM sleep—outside the vertebrate lineage. I will present our latest work
  on spider sleep (including in the wild) and outline key directions for fu
 ture research\, laying the foundation for an unmatched comparative framewo
 rk in sleep research\, with the potential to reshape our understanding of 
 sleep across the animal kingdom.\nSpeaker: Daniela Rößler
