Ballooning dispersal using silk: world fauna, phylogenies, genetics and models
Aerial dispersal using silk ('ballooning') has evolved in spiders (Araneae), spider mites
(Acari) and in the larvae of moths (Lepidoptera). Since the 17th century, over 500 …

The fossil record of spiders revisited: implications for calibrating trees and evidence for a major faunal turnover since the Mesozoic
Studies in evolutionary biology and biogeography increasingly rely on the estimation of
dated phylogenetic trees using molecular clocks. In turn, the calibration of such clocks is …

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 …

Geological history and phylogeny of Chelicerata
JA Dunlop - Arthropod structure & development, 2010 - Elsevier
Chelicerata probably appeared during the Cambrian period. Their precise origins remain
unclear, but may lie among the so-called great appendage arthropods. By the late Cambrian …

Treating fossils as terminal taxa in divergence time estimation reveals ancient vicariance patterns in the palpimanoid spiders
Incorporation of fossils into biogeographic studies can have a profound effect on the
conclusions that result, particularly when fossil ranges are nonoverlapping with extant …
