Sequence Capture Phylogenomics of True Spiders Reveals Convergent Evolution of Respiratory Systems
Systematic Biology, 2020 Abstract The common ancestor of spiders likely used silk to line burrows or make simple webs, with specialized spinning organs and aerial webs originating with the evolution of the megadiverse “true spiders” (Araneomorphae). The base of the araneomorph tree also concentrates the greatest number of changes in respiratory structures, a ...

Larvae of pyrrhocorid true bugs are not to spiders’ taste: putative Müllerian mimicry
Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2019 Abstract Adults and larvae of a true bug, Scantius aegyptius (Heteroptera: Pyrrhocoridae), closely resemble sympatric firebugs, Pyrrhocoris apterus, and probably form a mimetic relationship with the latter species. Scantius aegyptius adults, although producing a secretion atypical of true bugs, are to some extent chemically protected ...
