Uloborus diversus is a species of cribellate orb weaver in the spider family Uloboridae. It is found in the desert regions of the Southwestern United States and Mexico.[1][2][3][4] It is an important model species for understanding the evolution of spidroins and understanding orb-weaving behavior.[5] To provide resources for this research a 2.15-Gbp chromosome-level draft genome assembly was sequenced and assembled to 10 chromosomes.[6]
Description
U. diversus is typically brown, with paler colourations more common than melanic ones.[7] Patterns and markings vary, though most individuals have a mottled line that runs longitudinally down the abdomen. Leg markings are distinct, with visible rings.[7][8]
U. diversus shows minor sexual dimorphism, with males sporting tibial spines and a slightly flattened abdomen.[7]
Taxonomy
Due to the great variability in appearance of U. diversus, many junior synonyms exist for this species.[9][10]
