Introduction to the Theraphosidae,tulas. In this chapter we introduce the phylogenetic position of the Theraphosidae within the Araneae, the general characteristics of the tarantulas including taxonomical, evolutionary and biological aspects of the group. We analyze Theraphosidae diagnostic characters and the affinities with other f

A Molecular Approach to the Phylogeny of Theraphosidae and Their Kin,ntractable systematic questions. We then overview transcriptomic methods versus target capture approaches, each of which provide increasingly powerful methods for new insights. Finally, we speculate on where additional taxon sampling is needed to resolve the tarantula phylogeny, before concluding ho

Arboreal Tarantulas and Their Allies: Aviculariinae and Psalmopoeinae,considerable taxonomic and biological attention and the validity as a monophyletic group has been discussed extensively. Some phylogenetic studies suggest at least two subfamilies for the American arboreal tarantulas and their kin: Aviculariinae and Psalmopoeinae. Likewise, the phylogenetic relation

Biogeography of New World Tarantulas,l their latitudinal and elevational limits. We also review the distributions of groups with unique insular habitats such as those found on islands surrounded by seas, forested “islands” surrounded by “seas” of deserts, and caves. Furthermore, we discuss the distribution of some unique morphological

Tarantulas and Their Habitats,s use different microhabitats than later instars (ontogenetic habitat shift). Local assemblages may contain several species which either use slightly different areas or heights of the habitat, differ in their basic life style or use the same patch of habitat at different times. However, habitat use

Phsiological Ecology of Tarantulas: Thermoregulation, Metabolism, and Performance Traits,longer life span. Because of their sit-and-wait predatory strategy, they may undergo long periods with limited food availability and tend to have very low resting metabolic rates that enables survival with low and unpredictable food resources. This chapter will review various aspects of thermoregula
