The spider tree of life: phylogeny of Araneae based on target‐gene analyses from an extensive taxon sampling
We present a phylogenetic analysis of spiders using a dataset of 932 spider species,
representing 115 families (only the family Synaphridae is unrepresented), 700 known …

The contribution of molecular data to our understanding of cephalopod evolution and systematics: a review
The first DNA sequence of a cephalopod was published in 1983 and the first molecular
paper focusing on cephalopods was published in 1994. In this review we trace progress in …

Investigating the Bivalve Tree of Life–an exemplar-based approach combining molecular and novel morphological characters
To re-evaluate the relationships of the major bivalve lineages, we amassed detailed morpho-
anatomical, ultrastructural and molecular sequence data for a targeted selection of exemplar …

Disentangling ribbon worm relationships: multi‐locus analysis supports traditional classification of the phylum Nemertea
The phylogenetic relationships of selected members of the phylum Nemertea are explored
by means of six markers amplified from the genomic DNA of freshly collected specimens (the …

A multi-gene phylogeny of Cephalopoda supports convergent morphological evolution in association with multiple habitat shifts in the marine environment
Background The marine environment is comprised of numerous divergent organisms living
under similar selective pressures, often resulting in the evolution of convergent structures …

New insights into the phylogeny, systematics and DNA barcoding of Nemertea
Although some clades of ribbon worms (phylum Nemertea) are consistently recovered with
high support in molecular phylogenies, the placement and inter-relationships of some taxa …

Evolution of spermatophore transfer mechanisms in cephalopods
JEAR Marian - Journal of Natural History, 2015 - Taylor & Francis
Spermatophores from coleoid cephalopods are capable of functioning autonomously during
mating, attaching themselves to the female body through the “spermatophoric reaction”. In …

Into the deep: a phylogenetic approach to the bivalve subclass Protobranchia
A molecular phylogeny of Protobranchia, the subclass of bivalve mollusks sister to the
remaining Bivalvia, has long proven elusive, because many constituent lineages are deep …
