Theraphosidae is the most diversified family of mygalomorph spiders, commonly known as tarantulas. Two genera inhabit the Mediterranean region: Chaetopelma in the east and Ischnocolus mostly in the western part of the Basin. Their phylogenetic position and the validity of some Ischnocolus species remain unclear. We implemented a multilocus target a...
The advent of high-throughput sequencing technologies (HTS) has generated an unprecedented
amount of genomic and transcriptomic information. A vast amount of
these data is not even used in targeted projects but is made available in public repositories.
Previous studies have demonstrated that HTS data constitute a valuable
resource to recover mitoge...
Because of their size, abundance and active predatory lifestyle, spiders of the family Dysderidae are among the most conspicuous creatures in the Dinaric caves. Historically, the interest for this group dates back to 1847, to the description of the first cave spider in the world, Stalita taenaria , and peaks in the middle of 20 th century with the...
