Bacterial Adaptation to Venom in Snakes and Arachnida
Notwithstanding their 3 to 5% mortality, the 2.7 million envenomation-related injuries occurring annually—predominantly across Africa, Asia, and Latin America—are also major causes of morbidity.

A Bio-Inspired Method for Mathematical Optimization Inspired by Arachnida Salticidade
This paper proposes a new meta-heuristic called Jumping Spider Optimization Algorithm (JSOA), inspired by Arachnida Salticidae hunting habits. The proposed algorithm mimics the behavior of spiders in nature and mathematically models its hunting ...

Phylogeny and biogeography of the pantropical whip spider family Charinidae (Arachnida: Amblypygi)
The present contribution addresses the phylogeny and biogeography of the pantropical whip spider family Charinidae Quintero, 1986, the most species-rich in the arachnid order Amblypygi Thorell, 1883, based on morphology and multilocus DNA sequences ...
