Abstract:Pisauridae Simon, 1890 or “nursery web spiders” are a global and heterogenous assemblage of spider genera with diverse lifestyles, containing web builders and webless species, as well as terrestrial and semi-aquatic species, notably “fishing spiders”, genusDolomedesLatreille, 1804. Incomplete, unresolved, or conflicting phylogenies have so far hampered testing forDolomedesand pisaurid monophyly and evolution. Here, we broadly address these questions within a phylogenomic and comparative framework. Our goals ar… Show more
