Evolutionary and multi-omic divergences associated with the extreme sexual size dimorphism in spiders
Extreme sexual size dimorphism (SSD) represents one of the most striking forms of phenotypic divergence between the sexes, yet the genomic basis of extreme body-size dimorphism remains poorly understood. Orb-weaving spiders exhibit some of the most pronounced female-biased SSD among terrestrial arthropods, providing an exceptional system for investigating the evolutionary and genomic changes…
