Publication: Tracking changes of spiny trapdoor spiders

Australia's arid zone has spread throughout history, and has had a transformative impact on many species. New research has investigated the evolutionary history of spiny trapdoor spiders, in response to changes in Australia's arid environment.

Published in Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, and co-authored by the Environment Institute's Professor Andy Austin, the paper has been ranked as the 'Editor's Choice' for this edition of the journal.
