Karyotype evolution of spiders with holokinetic chromosomes (Dysderoidea)
The superfamily Dysderoidea, a species-rich clade of haplogyne araneomorph spiders encompassing members that are all expected to exhibit holokinetic chromosome structure, is cytogenetically explored for this thesis. Holokinetic chromosomes lack primary constriction and centromere. In contrast to standard chromosomes, kinetochore covers most of chromosome surface of the holokinetic chromosomes. Hol
