Many spectacular cases of biological diversity are associated with sexual selection, and structures under sexual selection often show positive static allometry: they are disproportionately large for… Expand
Phylogeny and classification of Pholcidae (Araneae): an update
- B. A. Huber
- Biology
- 27 October 2011
Abstract For over 100 years, Eugène Simon's system of pholcid classification has been used with only minor modifications. Phylogenetic research over the last decade has shown that some fundamental… Expand

- B. A. Huber
- Biology
- 1 October 1996
Two American pholcids previously assigned to Micromerys Bradley are redescribed and transferred to Mefagonia: Me. conica (Simon, 1893) comb. n. (Venezuela), and Me. delicata (Cambridge, 1895) comb.… Expand

- B. A. Huber
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of morphology
- 1 September 2004
The male genitalia of 107 spider species representing 73 families were serially sectioned and studied with an emphasis on muscles moving the genital bulb. As a rule, most non‐Entelegynae have two… Expand
Molecular taxonomy in pholcid spiders (Pholcidae, Araneae): evaluation of species identification methods using CO1 and 16S rRNA
- J. Astrin, B. A. Huber, B. Misof, C. Klütsch
- Biology
- 1 September 2006
The identification of species using molecular characters is a promising approach in alpha taxonomy and in any discipline depending on reliable assignment of specimens. Previous studies have shown the… Expand
