Microhabitat change drives diversification in pholcid spiders
Background Microhabitat changes are thought to be among the main drivers of
diversification. However, this conclusion is mostly based on studies on vertebrates. Here, we …

Phylogeny of extant nephilid orb‐weaving spiders (Araneae, Nephilidae): testing morphological and ethological homologies
The Pantropical spider clade Nephilidae is famous for its extreme sexual size dimorphism,
for constructing the largest orb‐webs known, and for unusual sexual behaviors, which …

Pholcid spider molecular systematics revisited, with new insights into the biogeography and the evolution of the group
We analysed seven genetic markers sampled from 165 pholcids and 34 outgroups in order
to test and improve the recently revised classification of the family. Our results are based on …
