Characterization Of Genes Involved In Black Widow Spider Development
, 2005 Lactrodectys hesperus, (black widow spiders), are reasonably close relative of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, yet have very different body plans. The development of the fly has proven to be similar in most animals, including us.
