A synopsis of the Campodeidae dipluran fauna from China (Arthropoda, Hexapoda) with a taxonomic key
Abstract This study provides a detailed examination of the taxonomy and distribution of 25 described Campodeidae diplurans species from the Chinese fauna, which frequently inhabit soil and cave environments. It involves the revision and rewriting of the

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.

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

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) [...

Ecdysozoan mitogenomics: evidence for a common origin of the legged invertebrates, the Panarthropoda [PDF]
Ecdysozoa is the recently recognized clade of molting animals that comprises the vast majority of extant animal species and the most important invertebrate model organisms—the fruit fly and the nematode worm.

Metagenome skimming of insect specimen pools: potential for comparative genomics [PDF]
Metagenomic analyses are challenging in metazoans, but high-copy number and repeat regions can be assembled from lowcoverage sequencing by “genome skimming,” which is applied here as a new way of characterizing metagenomes obtained in an ecological or ...

Ant diversity (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in two districts in the municipality of Barreiras-BA
In recent years, attention has focused on studies about myrmecofauna in urban environments, due to its high possibility of causing damage to food storage and household structures.
