项目摘要

Pedipalpi is a lineage comprising three little known groups of arachnids: Amblypygi (whip spiders), Schizomida (short-tailed whip scorpions or micro-whip scorpions), and Thelyphonida (vinegaroons or whip scorpions). These nocturnal predators, which inhabit tropical and subtropical habitats on all major landmasses except Antarctica, are important for controlling insect populations and have hardly changed anatomically in 300 million years. What little is known about their life history and behavior reveals complex courtship rituals, male combat, territoriality, sociality, parental care, and chemical defense with an arsenal of noxious defense secretions. Despite the deep evolutionary timescale, global distribution, ecological importance, and fascinating life history and behavior of Pedipalpi, little progress on their classification has been made in a century, and their branch of the Tree of Life is barely assembled, hindering the testing of hypotheses concerning their evolution. By leveraging technological advances in genomics, microscopy, imaging, and informatics, and integrating anatomical and genomic data, this project will build the first comprehensive tree of life for living and fossil Pedipalpi, train a new generation of experts on these poorly studied arachnids, and disseminate results to the public. Two Ph.D. students and two postdoctoral associates, from groups under-represented in science, will be supported. Each year, an undergraduate, two high school students, and two citizen scientists will be involved in research. Courses on the biology and classification of Pedipalpi, with an introduction to the local fauna, will be presented on four continents. New material, data, and images will enhance scientific infrastructure. Results, data, and educational outreach materials will be disseminated at meetings, online, and via nationally distributed classroom magazines.The project has four primary aims. (1) Using a high-throughput, targeted enrichment approach, ca. 100,000 base-pairs of DNA sequence, per specimen, will be generated for representatives of all major lineages, 70% of the genera, and 30% of the species of living Pedipalpi. (2) A matrix of morphological observations will be compiled for all species in the genomic dataset and representatives of extinct lineages of Pedipalpi and their chelicerate relatives. The phylogeny and morphology will be used to (3) present a predictive classification of Pedipalpi above the level of genus and conduct monographic taxonomic revisions of four lineages, and (4) investigate questions concerning the evolution and diversification of Pedipalpi. How, when, and where did the major lineages of Pedipalpi diversify, and which key innovations enabled them to do so? Is morphological specialization to life in caves, commonly inhabited by Pedipalpi, an irreversible, evolutionary dead-end? Is sexual dimorphism in the spinose pedipalps (claws) of Amblypygi ancestral or derived, and did it evolve to reduce injury in ritualized male combat, or was it sexually selected?This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
Pedipalpi是由三个鲜为人知的蛛形纲动物组成的谱系:Amblypygi(鞭蛛),Schizomida(短尾鞭蝎或微鞭蝎)和Thelyphonida(醋鞭蝎)。这些夜间捕食者栖息在除南极洲以外的所有主要大陆的热带和亚热带栖息地,对控制昆虫种群非常重要,并且在3亿年内几乎没有发生解剖学变化。对它们的生活史和行为所知甚少,揭示了复杂的求偶仪式、雄性战斗、领土性、社会性、父母照顾和有毒防御分泌物的化学防御。尽管深进化的时间尺度,全球分布,生态的重要性,和迷人的生活史和行为的Pedipalpi,小进展,他们的分类已经取得了世纪,和他们的生命之树的分支几乎没有组装,阻碍了测试的假设,关于他们的进化。通过利用基因组学,显微镜,成像和信息学方面的技术进步,并整合解剖学和基因组数据,该项目将为活体和化石Pedipalpi建立第一个全面的生命树,培训新一代关于这些研究不足的蛛形纲动物的专家,并向公众传播结果。两个博士来自科学界人数不足群体的学生和两名博士后助理将得到支助。每年,一名本科生,两名高中生和两名公民科学家将参与研究。将在四大洲举办关于Pedipalpi生物学和分类的课程,并介绍当地动物群。新的材料、数据和图像将增强科学基础设施。成果、数据和教育宣传材料将在会议上、网上和通过全国分发的课堂杂志传播。(1)使用高通量,有针对性的富集方法,约。每个标本将产生100,000个碱基对的DNA序列,代表所有主要的谱系,70%的属,30%的物种。(2)将为基因组数据集中的所有物种和Pedipalpi及其螯合亲属的灭绝谱系的代表编制形态观察矩阵。本研究将利用形态学和系统发育学的研究成果,(3)提出足须亚目属以上的预测性分类,并对四个谱系进行专题分类学修订,(4)探讨足须亚目的进化和多样化问题。Pedipalpi的主要血统是如何、何时、何地多样化的,哪些关键创新使他们能够做到这一点?形态特化到洞穴中的生活,通常由Pedipalpi居住,是一个不可逆转的,进化的死胡同?两性异形的刺足肢(爪)是祖先的还是衍生的?它是为了减少仪式化的雄性战斗中的伤害而进化的,还是性选择的?该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命,并被认为是值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。
