Just following the examples of my heroes, including you!

Just messaged you!

Hello! Do you know which species of Hogna you get there? I would also be interested in Trochosa (I assume terricola?).

I sent you a message! 😀

@kaina-privet.bsky.social to be clear, this is general ngs. I hope to extract mitogenomes and ultraconserved elements (UCEs) from the assembled contigs.

Tobias emailed me. Please contact him and he will help you send specimens to me if you collect any wolf spiders, including Trochosa. 😁 Ah, yes, Kronestedt is a good idea. I will email him. Thank you!

Salut Julien! Oui, bien sur! Specimens from southern France would be great. Do you have any Hogna sp.? I assume "radiata" at least?
February 11, 2025 at 3:22 PM
I'm happy to share any data (reads) that result from specimens you provide. 😁

I'll be doing next gen sequencing (whole genome sequencing, random) for 150 bp paired-end reads, with targets of 15M to 20M reads per specimen.

It is okay if nobody specializes in arachnids. The name of the collections manager is enough to start. 😁 I found his email address and will send him an email in a few minutes.

T. terricola from Sweden would be brilliant! I am unsure who is curator at the Swedish NHM, but if you give me their name I can contact them. Additionally, if you do collect T. terricola, I have a specific interest in that species! We can arrange for the specimens to be sent through the museum.

Well, this study is more about teasing apart mitochondrial vs nuclear genomic evolution in wolf spiders than confirming they're spiders.
