The fossil record of spiders revisited: implications for calibrating trees and evidence for a major faunal turnover since the Mesozoic
Studies in evolutionary biology and biogeography increasingly rely on the estimation of
dated phylogenetic trees using molecular clocks. In turn, the calibration of such clocks is …

A phylogenetic classification of jumping spiders (Araneae: Salticidae)
WP Maddison - Journal of Arachnology, 2015 - JSTOR
The classification of jumping spiders (Salticidae) is revised to bring it into accord with recent
phylogenetic work. Of the 610 recognized extant and fossil genera, 588 are placed at least …

Expanding anchored hybrid enrichment to resolve both deep and shallow relationships within the spider tree of life
Background Despite considerable effort, progress in spider molecular systematics has
lagged behind many other comparable arthropod groups, thereby hindering family-level …
