Multi-taxon Analysis of the Central Nervous System of Spiders

This poster, presented at the BeNeLux Zoology annual meeting in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, shows the preliminary results of a project aimed at understanding the evolution of the coarse anatomy of the Central Nervous System in spiders. The project looked at the correlations between ecological specialization, mainly in visually driven behaviours, and the relationship of different spider families covering all the main branches of the spider tree of life.
