Bacterial Adaptation to Venom in Snakes and Arachnida [PDF]
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.

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
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
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
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 ...

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

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.

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

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 ...
