We present a phylogenetic analysis of spiders using a dataset of 932 spider species, representing 115 families (only the family Synaphridae is unrepresented), 700 known genera, and additional representatives of 26 unidentified or undescribed genera. Eleven genera of the orders Amblypygi, Palpigradi, Schizomida and Uropygi are included as outgroups. The dataset includes six markers from the mitochondrial (12S, 16S, COI) and nuclear (histone H3, 18S, 28S) genomes, and was analysed by multiple…

Phylogenetic systematics and evolution of the spider infraorder Mygalomorphae using genomic scale data
- BiologybioRxiv
- 2019
The first such analysis for the group within a strict phylogenetic framework shows that a sheet web is likely the plesiomorphic condition for mygalomorphs, as well as providing hints to the ancestral foraging behavior for all spiders.

The combined dataset suggests that Nephilidae is sister to Araneidae; furthermore, the sister group of Nephila is the clade composed by Herennia plus Nephilengys and this pattern has clear implications for understanding the comparative biology of the group.

A reevaluation of mygalomorph phylogeny using the rRNA genes 18S and 28S, the nuclear protein-coding gene EF-1γ, and a morphological character matrix proposes a “road map” for future sampling across the infraorder with the aim of solving many remaining questions that hinder mygalomorphic systematics.

A cladistic analysis based on parsimony concludes that Ctenidae is shown to be polyphyletic as currently delimited, but the most severely questioned taxa (i.e., Acanthoctenus, Cupiennius, and Ancylometes) are indeed members of this family.

This phylogeny represents a solid framework to work towards the understanding of pycnogonid systematics, providing a data set and a testable hypothesis that indicate those clades that need severe testing, especially some of the deep nodes of the pycnogsonid tree and the relationships of ammotheid and callipallenid forms.

The evolution of the elevated cephalic area led to highly manoeuvrable chelicerae and associated novel prey capture strategies, and all members of Palpimanoidea appear to have modifications to the cep Halic area, and furthermore, members seem to have evolved prey specialization.
