The increase in the use of molecular methodologies in systematics has driven the necessity for a comprehensive understanding of the limitations of different genetic markers. Not every marker is optimal for all species, which has led to multiple approaches in the study of the taxonomy and phylogeny o...

Research shows that the East Asian wolf spider has a complex genetic history influenced by ancient climate changes, with two main lineages and signs of recent population growth likely accelerated by human activities.
The wolf spider Pardosa astrigera L. Koch, 1878, an important biological control agent for pests in agriculture, is widely distributed in various ecosystems across East Asia. This study used mitochondrial DNA and aimed to provide an in-depth understanding of population genetic structure and evolutio...
