Abstract excerpt
In the continuing quest for informative genes for use in molecular systematics, the protein-coding gene Elongation factor-1alpha (EF-1alpha) has rapidly become one of the most prevalent "single-copy" nuclear genes utilized, particularly in arthropods. This paper explores the molecular evolutionary dynamics and phylogenetic utility of EF-1alpha in the salticid spider genus Habronattus. As has been reported for...
