Cladistics, Volume 39, Issue 6, Page 479-532, December 2023., 2023 Abstract In the last decade and a half, advances in genetic sequencing technologies have revolutionized systematics, transforming the field from studying morphological characters or a few genetic markers, to genomic datasets in the phylogenomic era. A plethora of molecular phylogenetic studies on many taxonomic groups have come about, converging on, or

Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 3, Page 942-981, June 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT Acoustic and substrate‐borne vibrations are among the most widely used signalling modalities in animals. Arthropods display a staggering diversity of vibroacoustic organs generating acoustic sound and/or substrate‐borne vibrations, and are fundamental to our broader understanding of the evolution of animal signalling.

The biology and evolution of spider venoms
Biological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 1, Page 163-178, February 2022., 2022 ABSTRACT Spiders are diverse, predatory arthropods that have inhabited Earth for around 400 million years. They are well known for their complex venom systems that are used to overpower their prey. Spider venoms contain many proteins and peptides with highly specific and potent activities suitable for biomedical or agrochemical applications, but the ...

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 22, Issue 1, Page 375-390, January 2022., 2022 Abstract Here, we present the chromosome‐level genome assembly of Dysdera silvatica Schmidt, 1981, a nocturnal ground‐dwelling spider endemic from the Canary Islands. The genus Dysdera has undergone a remarkable diversification in this archipelago mostly associated with shifts in the level of trophic specialization, becoming an excellent model to study
