Hemocyanin Suggests a Close Relationship of Remipedia and Hexapoda [PDF]
The Remipedia are enigmatic crustaceans from anchialine cave systems, first described only 30 years ago, whose phylogenetic affinities are as yet unresolved. Here we report the sequence of hemocyanin from Speleonectes tulumensis Yager, 1987 (Remipedia, Speleonectidae).

Centrioles and Ciliary Structures during Male Gametogenesis in Hexapoda: Discovery of New Models
Centrioles are-widely conserved barrel-shaped organelles present in most organisms. They are indirectly involved in the organization of the cytoplasmic microtubules both in interphase and during the cell division by recruiting the molecules needed for ...

The Globin Gene Family in Arthropods: Evolution and Functional Diversity
Globins are small heme-proteins that reversibly bind oxygen. Their most prominent roles in vertebrates are the transport and storage of O2 for oxidative energy metabolism, but recent research has suggested alternative, non-respiratory globin functions ...

The occurrence of hemocyanin in Hexapoda [PDF]
Hemocyanins are copper‐containing, respiratory proteins that have been thoroughly studied in various arthropod subphyla. Specific O2‐transport proteins have long been considered unnecessary in Hexapoda (including Insecta), which acquire O2 via an elaborate tracheal system.

Arthropod Venom Components and Their Potential Usage
Arthropods comprise a predominant and well-succeeded phylum of the animal kingdom that evolved and diversified in millions of species grouped in four subphyla, namely, Chelicerata (arachnids), Crustacea, Myriapoda (centipedes), and Hexapoda (insects) [...

The diversity of Protura (Arthropoda, Hexapoda) in the Mediterranean area
The Mediterranean area is one of the biodiversity hotspots where some soil-borne taxa reach a high peak of diversity. Within this community, Protura is a poorly known taxon of euedaphic microarthropods. Based on the literature, 77 species belonging to 15 genera, arranged into four families and two orders have been recorded in the Mediterranean Basin ...
