Plebs (spider)

Plebs is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by M. M. Joseph & V. W. Framenau in 2012.[2] Though many of its species have been moved around, a 2012 taxonomic revision suggested that these spiders compris a monophyletic genus of closely related spiders that evolved in Australia and, through subsequent movements, spread into parts of Asia and Pacific islands.[2]

gollark: Oh, and "you constantly just refer people to giant sets of papers and random YouTube videos".
gollark: Also "you aren't using actual evidence" and "you're constantly shifting the goalposts" and "you're not even bothering to explain your claims and just expect people to infer them from random papers" and "you say stupidly vague things and cite papers for evidence because they sound vaguely related".
gollark: Your quote, not the video which I have ignored.
gollark: Well, it's hardly a good-faith attempt to explain a point or something, and you're unlikely to make anyone actually do much about it by saying it again.
gollark: > Ah, yes, this video says saint Einstein is wrong therefore he is a moron indeed.> Ah, yesis generally used to precede "gotcha" sort of things i.e. snappy "arguments" which don't really mean much> saint Einsteinis basically you just pushing the whole "science = religion" thing you like
