...Callum J. McLean; Charlotte A. Brassey; Michael Seiter; Russell J. Garwood; James D. Gardiner ABSTRACT The link between form and function is key to understanding the evolution of unique and/or extreme morphologies. Amblypygids, or whip spiders, are arachnids that often have highly elongated spined...
