Spinning Gland Transcriptomics from Two Main Clades of Spiders (Order: Araneae) - Insights on Their Molecular, Anatomical and Behavioral Evolution
Characterized by distinctive evolutionary adaptations, spiders provide a comprehensive system for evolutionary and developmental studies of anatomical organs, including silk and venom production. Here we performed cDNA sequencing using massively parallel sequencers (454 GS-FLX Titanium) to generate ∼80,000 reads from the spinning gland of Actinopus spp. (infraorder: Mygalomorphae) and Gasteraca...
متن کاملComparative transcriptomics of Entelegyne spiders (Araneae, Entelegynae), with emphasis on molecular evolution of orphan genes
Next-generation sequencing technology is rapidly transforming the landscape of evolutionary biology, and has become a cost-effective and efficient means of collecting exome information for non-model organisms. Due to their taxonomic diversity, production of interesting venom and silk proteins, and the relative scarcity of existing genomic resources, spiders in particular are excellent targets f...
متن کاملOn the spinning apparatus of spiders of the genus Atypus (Araneae, Atypidae) HAJERJ
E' studiata la struttura dell'apparato di tessitura della tela dei ragni del genere Atypus Latreille, 1804. 1...0 studio e stato condotto sugli stadi ninfali I e 11. Solo in questi due stadi, che vivono in tubi materni comuni, le filifere antero-laterali sono capaci di produrre seta. Le ghiandole, collegate con un fusulo su ciascuna filiera antero-laterale, potrebbero avere la stessa funzione d...
متن کاملChromosomal characteristics and karyotype evolution of Oxyopidae spiders (Araneae, Entelegynae).
We made a cytogenetic analysis of four species of Oxyopidae and compared it with the karyotype data of all species of this family. In Hamataliwa sp, the mitotic cells showed 2n♂ = 26+X(1)X(2) and telocentric chromosomes. The 2n♂ = 28, which has been described for only one oxyopid spider, is the highest diploid number reported for this family. Peucetia species exhibited distinct karyotype charac...
متن کاملAn Association Between Two Neotropical Spiders (Araneae: Uloboridae and Tengellidae)
An interspecific association between two spider species (Araneae, Uloboridae and Tengellidae) was studied over a sixweek period at an Atlantic lowland wet forest site in Costa Rica. The uloborid Philoponella z~icziza builds orb webs among the frame lines of the platform web constructed by Tengella radiata Kulczynski, the much larger tengellid species. Experiments with marked P. zicina determine...
