Journal ArticleDOI

The spider tree of life: phylogeny of Araneae based on target‐gene analyses from an extensive taxon sampling

TL;DR: A phylogenetic analysis of spiders using a dataset of 932 spider species, representing 115 families (only the family Synaphridae is unrepresented), 700 known genera, and additional representatives of 26 unidentified or undescribed genera is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Treating Fossils as Terminal Taxa in Divergence Time Estimation Reveals Ancient Vicariance Patterns in the Palpimanoid Spiders

TL;DR: This analysis provides a rare example, and perhaps the most strongly supported, where a dated phylogeny confirms a biogeographical hypothesis based on vicariance due to the breakup of the ancient continental plates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Next-generation museum genomics: Phylogenetic relationships among palpimanoid spiders using sequence capture techniques (Araneae: Palpimanoidea).

TL;DR: The findings support the utility of target capture methods for examining deep relationships within Araneomorphae: sequences from both UCE and exonic loci were important for resolving relationships; a monophyletic Palpimanoidea was recovered in many analyses and there was strong support for family and generic-level palpimanoid relationships.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phylogenetic placement of pelican spiders (Archaeidae, Araneae), with insight into evolution of the “neck” and predatory behaviours of the superfamily Palpimanoidea

TL;DR: The evolution of the elevated cephalic area led to highly manoeuvrable chelicerae and associated novel prey capture strategies, and all members of Palpimanoidea appear to have modifications to the cep Halic area, and furthermore, members seem to have evolved prey specialization.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spider‐specific probe set for ultraconserved elements offers new perspectives on the evolutionary history of spiders (Arachnida, Araneae)

TL;DR: A specialized target‐capture probe set for spiders that contains over 2,000 ultraconserved elements (UCEs) is developed and monophyly of the ‘symphytognathoids’ (the miniature orb weavers), which in previous studies has only been supported by a combination of morphological and behavioural characters is suggested.
