20.500.12556/DiRROS-20152 Phylogenomic, biogeographic, and evolutionary research trends in arachnology Textbook knowledge tells us that arachnids are a hyper diverse clade of chelicerates that have taken on terrestrial lifestyles. Original papers published in prestigious venues routinely reconstruct details of this purported single terrestrialization event that would have been followed by arachnid diversification on land. However, we are beginning to understand that arachnids are very likely paraphyletic; as such, Arachnida can only circumscribe an assemblage of chelicerates that live terrestrially. If so, arachnid terrestrialization may have taken several independent routes at different historic times. While the diversity and phylogeny of spiders, scorpions and harvestmen may be relatively well documented and understood, additional groups that we deem to be arachnids remain enigmatic and will likely continue to be more or less neglected after this Special Issue. We have here assembled examples of contemporary studies that include both original research as well as reviews focusing on “arachnids” and cover loosely defined biological subdisciplines of phylogenomics, biogeography, and evolution. The latter includes systematics, taxonomy, DNA barcoding, and trait evolution. In this editorial, I introduce the authors of these papers and their featured research, and through this narrative, I pose two questions. The first one is what is arachnology given that arachnids may not be monophyletic? The second question is where should our field be headed toward in the near future? biogeography phylogeny systematics evolution arachnology biogeografija filogenomika sistematika evolucija arahnologija pajkovci true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2024-08-06 14:31:31 2024-08-06 14:31:31 2024-08-07 04:07:27 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Opis vira z dne 6. 5. 2022; str.
