Yes, technically all body discoveries are jumpscares. However, before you find one it always says something along the lines of "There was something waiting for me that I would never forget" then shows the dead body

Technically, all of the scenes where a corpse is found are jumpscares, but most of the times, you get a warning beforehand. "I feel like something bad is about to happen..."

Not necessarily jumpscares, but controller vibrations with suddenly being bit by a spider can be startling, as are disturbing wasp nests.

Technically, no, but the death notification sound is loud and may spook you if you're not expecting it.

If you encounter a tarantula, scorpion, or bees, they will chase you and the music gets tense. May be startling, but not really a jumpscare

Octorocks come in many forms, including those that hide underneath the ground. They look like a plant or treasure chest at first, but when you get too close they suddenly jump out and shoot a big rock at you, like a cannon. It surprises me almost every time.

There is a quite frightening scene at the end of chapter 1 (when kris gets out of bed and starts limping). It could possibly be considered a jumpscare.

Not in the sense of things attacking you out of nowhere (though random encounters may be startling if you don’t see them coming), but there is a particular cutscene after Okumura’s palace where a character is well one minute and then very abruptly begins dying, and there is a zoom on his face which has become very disturbing in appearance.

It depends on how you constitute a jumpscare, but in the late-game, Lusamine flies towards the screen really fast and out of nowhere.

At one moment Glados starts talking when she plays a loud truck honking sound, intentionally to startle the player. It is not extremely loud, though.

While there are hints leading up to it, there is a chase scene involving the tick-like main enemies where they will jump out from unseen places towards the player.
