Review of terminology for the outline of dorsal scutum in Laniatores (Arachnida, Opiliones).

Zootaxa, 2016
In many Opiliones (notably the Laniatores) the five most anterior opisthosomal tergites are fused with the carapace forming the so called dorsal scutum (DS) (Latreille 1804; Simon 1879; Hadži 1942) with a highly variable shape arising from multiple ...

Autotomy in Arachnida

Journal of Morphology, 1926
AbstractOn the basis of experimental study and observations on the morphology of the legs of spiders, P.

Social Recognition in the Arachnida

2015
More than 99 % of arachnid species are solitary, aggressive and often cannibalistic predators. A few species are social and cooperative, but they do not reach the level of eusociality found in some insects. Kin recognition is suggested to be a key feature for the evolution of cooperation and sociality and thus found predominantly in those few species ...

The journal of arachnology, 2018
Camel spiders (Arachnida: Solifugae) are a notoriously difficult group of arachnids to study. They are almost all strictly nocturnal, fast moving predators that are difficult to find, collect, and rear.

Arachnida: Spiders and Scorpions

2020
Though there are over 40,000 species of spiders and 2,000 species of scorpions worldwide, many spiders are incapable of biting humans and very few spiders and scorpions produce clinically significant bites or stings. Most spider bites and scorpion stings in humans cause minimal or no effects and rarely result in more than a local cutaneous reaction ...

A catalogue of the species of Mesostigmata (Arachnida, Acari, Parasitiformes) recorded from Ireland including information on their geographical distribution and habitats.

Zootaxa, 2018
The study of Irish Mesostigmata extends back for more than 100 years, and most of the principal Irish habitat types have been studied. In this paper we provide a catalogue of the species of Mesostigmata (Arachnida, Acari, Parasitiformes) recorded from ...
