  • Spiders use self-produced venom and silk for their daily survival. Here, the authors report the assembled genome of the social velvet spider and a draft assembly of the tarantula genome and, together with proteomic data, provide insights into the evolution of genes that affect venom and silk production.

  • Jonathan Goldenberg et al. use photographic data and ancestral state reconstruction of 126 viper species to show that substrate type influences the evolution of ventral brightness for efficient heat transfer. Their results suggest that these patterns may have been involved in the diversification of vipers during the Miocene, and highlight the importance of ventral body regions when considering behavioral ecology and evolution.
