Horseshoe crabs, spidery shaped things, evolution, node shift
Recent paper shaking things up! Xiphosura, or horseshoe crabs (fig1), as the sister group to arachnids, which is to say that whatever animal all arachnids evolved from, its closest relative was the ancestor of horseshoe crabs.
This new analysis suggests that XIphosura is actually nested within arachnids and their closest relatives are the Ricinulei (Fig2).
This new placement means that either there was multiple terrestrialization events for arachnids OR horseshoe crabs are a terrestrial lineage that returned to the water.

PROFESSOR: so tell me why are you all are taking this class on social media?
EVERYONE: *some variation on “I like instagram and want a job”*
ME: I’m interested in the ways social media allow companies to assert ownership over organically formed communities… *tents fingers* and how to put a stop to that
PROFESSOR (nervous): …ok
