Over time, mountain biota has undergone complex evolutionary histories that have left
imprints on its genomic arrangement, geographical distribution and diversity of …

Ninetinae are a group of poorly known spiders that do not fit the image of 'daddy long-legs
spiders'(Pholcidae), the family to which they belong. They are mostly short-legged, tiny and …

Abstract The North American-Caribbean genera Pholcophora Banks, 1896 and Tolteca
Huber, 2000 are representatives of Ninetinae, a group of small, cryptic, and thus poorly …

The scorpions represent an ancient and morphologically conserved order of arachnids.
Despite that, their karyotypes may differ considerably even among closely related species. In …

The southern South American genus Guaranita includes tiny spiders (body length~ 1 mm)
that lead reclusive lives under ground-objects and run rapidly when disturbed. As a result …

Recent cytogenetic and genomic studies suggest that morphological and molecular
evolution is decoupled in the basal arachnid order Scorpiones. Extraordinary karyotype …

A common placement for most sex chromosomes that is involved in their evolutionary
histories is the accumulation of distinct classes of repetitive DNAs. Here, with the aim of …

Background Despite progress in genomic analysis of spiders, their chromosome evolution is
not satisfactorily understood. Most information on spider chromosomes concerns the most …

We examined the distribution of genes for major ribosomal RNAs (rDNA) on holokinetic
chromosomes of 74 species belonging to 19 genera of scorpions from the family Buthidae …

The knowledge of cytogenetics in the harvestmen family Phalangiidae has been based on
taxa from the Northern Hemisphere. We performed cytogenetic analysis on Guruia africana …
