In the last decade and a half, advances in genetic sequencing technologies have
revolutionized systematics, transforming the field from studying morphological characters or …

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 …

Dating back to almost 400 mya, spiders are among the most diverse terrestrial predators [1].
However, despite considerable effort [1–9], their phylogenetic relationships and …

The orb-weaving spiders (Orbiculariae) comprise more than 25% of the approximately
44,000 known living spider species and produce a remarkable variety of webs. The wheel …

In order to infer phylogenetic relationships within the extraordinarily speciesrich order
Coleoptera, a cladistic analysis is performed, in which 516 adult and larval morphological …

ABSTRACT A phylogenetic analysis of the two-clawed spiders grouped in Dionycha is
presented, with 166 representative species of 49 araneomorph families, scored for 393 …

High throughput sequencing and phylogenomic analyses focusing on relationships among
spiders have both reinforced and upturned longstanding hypotheses. Likewise, the …

Ladybird beetles (family Coccinellidae) are a species-rich, ecologically diverse group of
substantial agricultural significance, yet have been consistently problematic to classify, with …

Genome-scale data sets are converging on robust, stable phylogenetic hypotheses for many
lineages; however, some nodes have shown disagreement across classes of data. We use …

The importance of morphology in the phylogenomic era has recently gained attention, but
relatively few studies have combined both types of information when inferring phylogenetic …
