Peacock Spiders' Dark DNA May Explain Exceptional Species Diversity
Research on Australian peacock spiders suggests their unusually high species diversity—over 100—may be linked to 'dark DNA,' non-coding DNA sequences, which could facilitate rapid adaptation and speciation, offering insights into broader biodiversity.
