Population history in social spiders repeated: colony structure and lineage evolution in Stegodyphus mimosarum (Eresidae).

Molecular ecology - 1 Jul 2009

Johannesen Jes, Wickler Wolfgang, Seibt Uta, Moritz Robin F A

Abstract excerpt

Social cooperative spiders from diverse taxonomic families share life-history and demographic traits, including highly inbred colony structure. The combination of traits suggests constrained pathways for social evolution in spiders. The genus Stegodyphus has three independently evolved social species, which can be used as replicate samples to analyse population constraints in evolutionary time. We tested colony...
