We investigate the phylogeny, biogeography, time of origin and diversification, ancestral
area reconstruction and large-scale distributional patterns of an ancient group of arachnids …

We evaluate the phylogenetic and biogeographical relationships of the members of the
family Pettalidae (Opiliones, Cyphophthalmi), a textbook example of an ancient temperate …

Aim To investigate the phylogeny of the genus Cyphophthalmus in the Balkan Peninsula
and to test the current recognition of 'phyletic lines' and phylogenetic groups proposed in …

Aim To test the hypothesis that continental drift drives diversification of organisms through
vicariance, we selected a group of primitive arachnids which originated before the break‐up …

The phylogeny of the temperate Gondwanan harvestman family Pettalidae is investigated by
means of a new morphological matrix of 45 characters, and DNA sequence data from five …

The internal phylogeny of the arachnid order Opiliones is investigated by including
molecular data from five molecular markers for ca. 140 species totalling 43 families of …

Aim Biogeographers have long been intrigued by New Zealand's biota due to its unique
combination of typical 'continental'and 'island'characteristics. The New Zealand plateau …

The first fossil cyphophthalmid harvestman, Siro platypedibus new species (Arachnida,
Opiliones, Cyphophthalmi), is described from Bitterfeld amber, Sachsen-Anhalt, Germany …

In this study, we present phylogenetic data to characterize the relationships among sironids
centered in the Balkan region, and use these results to discuss biogeographical aspects of …

We investigated the phylogeny and biogeographic history of the Holarctic harvestmen genus
Sabacon, which shows an intercontinental disjunct distribution and is presumed to be a …
