Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of vision loss in humans. Despite its prevalence and medical significance, many aspects of AMD remain elusive and treatment options are limited. Here, we present data that suggest jumping spiders offer a unique opportunity for understanding the fundamentals underlying retinal degeneration, thereby shedding light on a process that impacts millions of people globally. Using a micro-ophthalmoscope and histological evidence, we demonstrate that significant photoreceptor damage can occur during development in the image-forming anterior lateral eyes of the jumping spiderPhidippus audax. Furthermore, we find that this photoreceptor degeneration is exacerbated by inadequate nutrition and is most prevalent in the high-density region of the retina, like AMD in humans. This suggests that similar to those in vertebrates, the retinas inP. audaxare challenged to meet high-energy cellular demands.
