DNA analyses may reveal groupings of species that are discordant with phylogenies constructed using morphological characters. Here, we examine the taxonomic status of what, historically, was called the Tegenaria atrica group of large house spiders: T

Key to our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the process of speciation is the determination of the nature of the barriers to gene flow between related taxa. Species that show zero gene flow in sympatry or parapatry are of little use in this

Summary Tegenaria atrica is a species common in continental Europe and the Republic of Ireland but on the British mainland it has long been regarded as a relatively rare import that has failed to establish. The recent discovery of this species in som

Summary Few studies have been made on the peri-copulatory behaviour and the outcome of multiple mating in secondarily derived cul-de-sac spiders. Here, molecular markers (allozymes) are used to confirm multiple-paternity in wild-collected females of

Hybridization and introgression in the wild between two species in the Eratigena atrica group of large house spiders, E. duellica and E. saeva, are well documented. However, the morphology of known F1 hybrids and subsequent F2 and backcross generatio

Convergent evolution tends to lead to similar phenotypic responses to the same selective pressures. However, when the phenotypic response is polymorphic, it is less clear how evolutionary convergence can lead to parallel diversity across species and

Past geological and climatological processes shape extant biodiversity. In the Hawaiian Islands, these processes have provided the physical environment for a number of extensive adaptive radiations. Yet, single species that occur throughout the islan

Changes in land use have a major effect on patterns of biodiversity. However, few studies have examined the demographic and genetic shifts associated with a return to semi-natural habitat following extended periods of human disturbance. Here we exami

The mechanisms behind the evolution and maintenance of conspicuous visible polymorphisms comprising tens of morphs present a challenge to evolutionary theory. However, for cryptic forms Endler (Evol. Biol., 11, 1978, 319) conjectured that complex bac
