A plea for standardized nuclear markers in metazoan DNA taxonomy
The ease of sequencing DNA barcodes promoted a species identification system universally
applicable across animal phyla. However, relying on a single mitochondrial DNA fragment …

Maternal care and subsocial behaviour in spiders
While most spiders are solitary and opportunistically cannibalistic, a variety of social
organisations has evolved in a minority of spider species. One form of social organisation is …

Hunting the wolf: a molecular phylogeny of the wolf spiders (Araneae, Lycosidae)
LN Piacentini, MJ Ramírez - Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2019 - Elsevier
Lycosids are a diverse family of spiders distributed worldwide. Previous studies recovered
some of the deeper splits of the family, but with little support. We present a broad …

Warming reverses top-down effects of predators on belowground ecosystem function in Arctic tundra
Predators can disproportionately impact the structure and function of ecosystems relative to
their biomass. These effects may be exacerbated under warming in ecosystems like the …
