A comparison of the biology and karyotypes of Zodarion germanicum and Zodarion rubidum
(Araneae, Zodariidae) which occur in central Europe was carried out. Surprisingly, these …

A characteristic feature of spider karyotypes is the predominance of unusual multiple X
chromosomes. To elucidate the evolution of spider sex chromosomes, their meiotic behavior …

Natural history, including phenology, circadian activity, mimicry, reproduction, prey
specialization and karyotype was studied in the zodariid spiders Trygettus sexoculatus …

Spiders represent one of the most studied arachnid orders. They are particularly intriguing
from a cytogenetic point of view, due to their complex and dynamic sex chromosome …
