Globally distributed, jumping spiders (Salticidae) are species-rich and morphologically
diverse. Recent molecular phylogenetic work has revealed that major clades are largely …

We investigate phylogenetic relationships of the jumping spider subfamily Euophryinae,
diverse in species and genera in both the Old World and New World. DNA sequence data of …

Pseudoscorpions, given their resemblance to scorpions, have attracted human attention
since the time of Aristotle, although they are much smaller and lack the sting and elongated …

Aim We investigate the dynamics of ant biodiversity patterns and community structure from
the Eocene until the present. Our goal is to empirically test hypotheses regarding the …
