Evolutionary biology of harvestmen (Arachnida, Opiliones)
Opiliones are one of the largest arachnid orders, with more than 6,500 species in 50
families. Many of these families have been erected or reorganized in the last few years since …

A multilocus approach to harvestman (Arachnida: Opiliones) phylogeny with emphasis on biogeography and the systematics of Laniatores
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 …

Biogeography of the world: a case study from cyphophthalmid Opiliones, a globally distributed group of arachnids
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 …

Deep genetic divergences in Aoraki denticulata (Arachnida, Opiliones, Cyphophthalmi): a widespread 'mite harvestman' defies DNA taxonomy
Abstract Aoraki denticulata (Arachnida, Opiliones, Cyphophthalmi, Pettalidae), a widespread
'mite harvestman'endemic to the South Island of New Zealand, is found in leaf littler habitats …

Evolutionary and biogeographical history of an ancient and global group of arachnids (Arachnida: Opiliones: Cyphophthalmi) with a new taxonomic arrangement
We investigate the phylogeny, biogeography, time of origin and diversification, ancestral
area reconstruction and large-scale distributional patterns of an ancient group of arachnids …

Sandokanid phylogeny based on eight molecular markers—the evolution of a southeast Asian endemic family of Laniatores (Arachnida, Opiliones)
Little is known about the familial and generic level phylogeny of Laniatores, the most diverse
