The paper identifies genomic signatures of positive selection and relaxed constraints in Dysdera spiders with convergent dietary specialisation on woodlice.

The paper presents chromosome-scale genomes of four Dugesia species, revealing genome size evolution and structural instability in flatworms through comparisons with Schmidtea mediterranea.

The paper investigates genome size reduction in island-dwelling Dysdera spiders, finding TE loss and non-adaptive mechanisms drive genome contraction.

GALEON identifies and visualizes gene clusters in chromosome-level genomes by analyzing physical distances and gene density, enabling comparison of gene families and exploration of evolutionary relationships.
