Evolution of karyotype, sex chromosomes, and meiosis in mygalomorph spiders (Araneae: Mygalomorphae)
2013-06-01
Abstract excerpt
Spider diversity is partitioned into three primary clades, namely Mesothelae, Mygalomorphae, and Araneomorphae. Mygalomorph cytogenetics is largely unknown. Our study revealed a remarkable karyotype diversity of mygalomorphs. Unlike araneomorphs, they show no general trend towards a decrease of 2n, as the chromosome number was reduced in some lineages and increased in others. A biarmed karyotype is a symplesiomorp...
