The spider tree of life: phylogeny of Araneae based on target‐gene analyses from an extensive taxon sampling
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 …

Adaptation and Survival of Marine-Associated Spiders (Araneae)
Aquatic environments are an unusual habitat for most arthropods. Nevertheless, many
arthropod species that were once terrestrial dwelling have transitioned back to marine and …
