Bacterial Adaptation to Venom in Snakes and Arachnida [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2022
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.

Exploring species diversity and abundance of scorpions (Arachnida: Scorpiones) in certain regions of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology, 2022
Despite scorpion diversity has long been acknowledged, the mystery of how it develops remains unresolved. The geographical distribution, species abundance and biodiversity of scorpions fauna in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is poorly explored with many aspects like

Current status of structural studies of proteins originating from Arachnida

open access: yesSystematic and Applied Acarology, 2023
Arthropods from class Arachnida constitute a large and diverse group with over 100,000 described species, and they are sources of many proteins that have a direct impact on human health.

A Bio-Inspired Method for Mathematical Optimization Inspired by Arachnida Salticidade

open access: yesMathematics, 2021
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 ...

Biomedical applications of silk and its role for intervertebral disc repair

open access: yesJOR SPINE, Volume 5, Issue 4, December 2022., 2022
For years, researchers have been seeking a suitable biomaterial to repair and/or regenerate the intervertebral disc (IVD) and a promising candidate to fill this gap could be the application of silk. Therefore, this review aims to elaborate on the different origins from which silk is harvested, the characteristics of each silk type and how it can be ...

Primeros registros de depredación intra-gremio de Sicarius thomisoides Walckenaer, 1847 (Araneae: Sicariidae) sobre el escorpión Brachistosternus mattoni (Ojanguren-Affilastro, 2005) (Scorpiones: Bothriuridae) y el solífugo Pseudocleobis sp. (Solifugae: Ammotrechidae) en Chile

open access: yesRevista Chilena de Entomología, 2021
Se registra el primer caso de depredación intra-gremio de Sicarius thomisoides sobre dos arácnidos de ambientes desérticos de Chile: el escorpión Brachistosternus mattoni y el solífugo Pseudocleobis sp. Se describen las circunstancias de la interacción y

On the life expectancy of a male Chilean rose tarantula, Grammostola rosea (Walckenaer, 1837) (Araneae: Theraphosidae) reared in captivity

open access: yesRevista Chilena de Entomología, 2022
Here we present the case of a male Chilean rose tarantula Grammostola rosea (Walckenaer,1837) (Araneae: Theraphosidae) reared in captivity, whose life expectancy has been dated at 8.5 years. The specimen spent the last three as an adult. Both records are

Comprehensive Species Sampling and Sophisticated Algorithmic Approaches Refute the Monophyly of Arachnida

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2021
Deciphering the evolutionary relationships of Chelicerata (arachnids, horseshoe crabs, and allied taxa) has proven notoriously difficult, due to their ancient rapid radiation and the incidence of elevated evolutionary rates in several lineages.

Fast‐tracking bespoke DNA reference database generation from museum collections for biomonitoring and conservation

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Despite recent advances in high‐throughput DNA sequencing technologies, a lack of locally relevant DNA reference databases limits the potential for DNA‐based monitoring of biodiversity for conservation and biosecurity applications. Museums and national collections represent a compelling source of authoritatively identified genetic material for

The effects of wheat‐pea mixed intercropping on biocontrol potential of generalist predators in a long‐term experimental trial

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, Volume 182, Issue 1, Page 37-47, January 2023., 2023
In the present study, we investigated the effects of mixed intercropping winter wheat‐winter pea on activity density and biocontrol potential of epigeal generalist predators. We show that mixed intercropping wheat and pea may represent a valid strategy to favour generalist predators and support conservation biological control compared to wheat ...
