Insights into the Karyotype Evolution of Charinidae, the Early-Diverging Clade of Whip Spiders (Arachnida: Amblypygi) [PDF]
Animals, 2021 Whip spiders (Amblypygi) represent an ancient order of tetrapulmonate arachnids with a low diversity. Their cytogenetic data are confined to only a few reports.

Assessing the patterns and drivers of shape complexity in the amblypygid pedipalp. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2021 Amblypygids are an arachnid order possessing a unique pair of spined pedipalps: appendages that perform in prey capture, courtship, and contest. We quantify trends in amblypygid pedipalp shape complexity using elliptical Fourier analysis applied to pedipalp outlines.

A new species of Charinus (Amblypygi: Charinidae) from Ghana, with notes on West African whip spiders [PDF]
Evolutionary Systematics, 2018 The fauna of whip spiders (Amblypygi) in Western Africa is poorly known but probably diverse. Here, I describe the new species Charinus kakum sp. n. based on female morphology, and accompanied by DNA sequence data.

On the habitat use of the Neotropical whip spider Charinus asturius (Arachnida: Amblypygi)
Zoologia, 2018 The non-random occupation of habitats is termed habitat selection. Some species of whip spiders select trees with burrows at their base, while others use substrates such as rocks. Here, we investigated the habitat use by Charinus asturius Pinto-da-Rocha,
