Reassessing the evolutionary relationships of tropical wandering spiders using phylogenomics: A UCE-based phylogeny of Ctenidae (Araneae) with the discovery of a new lycosoid family
Tropical wandering spiders (Ctenidae) are a diverse group of cursorial predators withthe greatest species richness in the tropics. The phylogeny of Ctenidae has beenexamined using morphology and Sanger-based sequencing data, but these studieshave been limited by taxon sampling and have often recovered low branch support formany intrafamilial phylogenetic relationships. Herein, we present the most extensivephylogenetic sampling of this family using genome-scale data (UCEs), leveraging museumcollections of all ctenid subfamilies from across the world.
