This study identifies genomic and multi-omic changes associated with extreme female-biased sexual size dimorphism in spiders, focusing on gene copy number, chromatin regulation, and sex-specific expression patterns.

The paper identifies genomic signatures of convergent evolution in spiders that build funnel webs, highlighting shared genetic changes in genes related to nervous system function.

This study identifies genomic adaptations in aquatic and semi-aquatic spiders through comparative genomics and integrative analyses, revealing genes involved in key physiological functions.
