The taxonomy of harvestmen is progressing at a fast pace. Many of the figures given in the
previous outline Kury (2011) have changed in this short space of two years. The total …

Gonyleptidae is the second most diverse harvestmen family and the most studied in terms of
morphology, behaviour, and ecology. Despite this, few phylogenetic studies have focused …

Based on a cladistic biogeographic analysis of 6 species-level phylogenies of harvestman
taxa, we searched for congruence in the historical relationships of 12 areas of endemism of …

The integration of ecology and historical biogeography is fostering the investigation of
diversity patterns. We studied alpha and beta diversity patterns of Brazilian Atlantic Forest …

A group of Amazonian harvestmen is recognized and described as Amazochroma gen. nov.
This taxon includes Discocyrtus carvalhoi Mello-Leitão, 1941 (type species), the only …

The study of diversity has become increasingly sophisticated, including the use of measures
of phylogenetic diversity. We calculate the spatial variation in species richness, taxonomic …

The type species of Mischonyx Bertkau 1880, Mischonyx squalidus, was described based
on a juvenile. The holotype is lost. Based on a revision of publications, the genus includes …

The taxonomy and systematics of the armored harvestmen (suborder Laniatores) are based
on various sets of morphological characters pertaining to shape, armature, pedipalpal …

We used DNA sequence data to test the morphology-based taxonomy and examine the
biogeography of the Brazilian Atlantic Rain Forest genus Promitobates. Most species are …

A new family of Laniatores, Gerdesiidae fam. nov., is proposed based on molecular and
morphological evidence. Data also indicate that this new family is the sister family of …
