Familial origins of silk sequences used in this study. Phylogenetic tree from Nentwig (Nentwig et al. 2013), modified to show positions of the different spider families and the silks previously described as being of a particular type. Location of Argyroneta aquatica and Cybaeus angustiarum (Cybaeidae) marked with an arrow. Each colored box represents a silk type; uncoloured boxes represent unclassified published spidroins. Numbers in each box indicate the total number of occurrences of each silk type. The total number of species sampled per family is detailed at the end of each row; * indicates where sequences have been retrieved from a genome
