Sexual conflict mitigation via sex-specific trait architecture

S. Kralj-Fiser, M. Kuntner, P. V. Debes

The paper investigates how sex-specific genetic and maternal effects on body size in the African hermit spider resolve sexual conflict under extreme sexual size dimorphism.

Sex-Specific Genetic Architecture Of Behavioral Traits In A Spider

S. Kralj-Fiser, J. M. Schneider, M. Kuntner, F. Garcia-Gonzalez

The paper examines sex-specific genetic effects and cross-sex genetic correlations in behavioral traits of spiders, finding higher genetic variance in males for aggression and activity and suggesting potential for sex-independent evolution.

Spider webs as eDNA tool for biodiversity assessment of life's domains

M. Gregoric, D. Kutnjak, K. Bacnik, C. Gostincar, A. Pecman, M. Ravnikar, M. Kuntner

This study uses spider webs as a source of eDNA to monitor biodiversity across different domains of life, showing their ability to detect small organisms and provide detailed community composition data.

Molecular species delimitation in the primitively segmented spider genus Heptathela endemic to Japanese islands

X. Xu, M. Kuntner, J. E. Bond, H. Ono, S. Y. W. Ho, F. Liu, L. Yu, D. Li

The paper uses a two-step molecular approach to delimit species in the spider genus Heptathela, identifying 20 putative species from 180 sampled individuals.

Caribbean golden orbweaving spiders maintain gene flow with North America

K. Candek, I. Agnarsson, G. J. Binford, M. Kuntner

The paper tests the intermediate dispersal model by analyzing gene flow in Caribbean golden orbweaving spiders, finding consistent gene flow between the Caribbean and North America.

Evidence for Miocene overwater colonization in Caribbean Cyrtognatha spiders

K. Candek, I. Agnarsson, G. Binford, M. Kuntner

The paper reconstructs the evolutionary history of Caribbean Cyrtognatha spiders, finding mid-Miocene overwater colonization rather than vicariance.

Golden Orbweavers Ignore Biological Rules: Phylogenomic and Comparative Analyses Unravel a Complex Evolution of Sexual Size Dimorphism

M. Kuntner, C. A. Hamilton, R.-C. Cheng, M. Gregoric, N. Lupse, T. Lokovsek, E. Lemmon, A. Lemmon, I. Agnarsson, J. A. Coddington, J. E. Bond

This paper analyzes phylogenomic and comparative data to test evolutionary rules in golden orbweavers, finding male size increases over time and complex relationships between web size and SSD.
