Correlation with a limited set of behavioral niches explains the convergence of somatic morphology in mygalomorph spiders

2022-09-14

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the drivers of morphological convergence requires investigation into its relationship with behavior and niche-space, and such investigations in turn provide insights into evolutionary dynamics, functional morphology, and life history. Mygalomorph spiders (trapdoor spiders and their kin) have long been associated with high levels of homoplasy, and many convergent features can be intuitively associated...
