Shifts in morphology, gene expression, and selection underlie web loss in Hawaiian Tetragnatha spiders

Shifts in morphology, gene expression, and selection underlie web loss in Hawaiian Tetragnatha spiders

Abstract Background A striking aspect of evolution is that it often converges on similar trajectories. Evolutionary convergence can occur in deep time or over short time scales, and is associated with the imposition of similar selective pressures. Repeated convergent events provide a framework to in...
