Solifugae Phylogeny: Invitation to Collaborate

Dr Siddharth Kulkarni ([email protected]) is inviting research collaboration with a request for Solifugae specimens from Asia. He and his post-doc supervisor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Prof Prashant Sharma, along with many collaborators, are working on a global phylogeny of Solifugae.

This group lacks a systematic classification and is basically an unexplored taxon. They plan to do the sequencing of molecular data from these materials to study their phylogeny.
