Evolutionary morphology of sperm in pholcid spiders (Pholcidae, Synspermiata)

Abstract Background Pholcidae represent one of the largest and most diverse spider families and have been subject to various studies regarding behavior and reproductive biology. In contrast to the solid knowledge on phylogeny and general reproductive morphology, the primary male reproductive system...
