The evolutionary history of cribellate orb-weaver capture thread spidroins

The evolutionary history of cribellate orb-weaver capture thread spidroins

Abstract Background Spiders have evolved two types of sticky capture threads: one with wet adhesive spun by ecribellate orb-weavers and another with dry adhesive spun by cribellate spiders. The evolutionary history of cribellate capture threads is especially poorly understood. Here, we use genomic a...
