Journal of Arachnology, 2010 A review of the pseudoscorpion genus Oreolpium Benedict & Malcolm reveals two species, the type species O. nymphum Benedict & Malcolm 1978 from northwestern USA and O. semotum, new species, from southern Tasmania. Oreolpium is most similar to Neominniza Beier, Thaumatolpium Beier and Teratolpium Beier from South America, and to Protogarypinus Beier ...

Reproductive Transitions and Sperm Utilisation in a Facultatively Parthenogenetic Stick Insect
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.Facultative parthenogenesis enables females to switch from asexual (parthenogenetic) to sexual reproduction after mating, but the process of fertilisation is poorly understood in such animals. It is unknown whether switching reproductive modes requires changes in the eggs themselves, delaying the transition from laying unfertilised to fertilised eggs ...

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 3, May 2025.Invasive animals threaten island‐native arthropods with predation. We found that introduced ants and rats conducted 77% of experimental arthropod live bait predations on Ascension Island. Predation was mostly by big‐headed ants Pheidole megacephala inland and around non‐native vegetation, and by black rats Rattus rattus in coastal lowland habitats and ...

Habitat requirements of deadwood‐dependent invertebrates that occupy tree hollows
Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 6, Page 2022-2034, December 2024.ABSTRACT Tree hollows support a specialised species‐rich fauna. We review the habitat requirements of saproxylic (= deadwood dependent) invertebrates which occupy tree hollows. We focus on studies quantifying relationships between species occurrence patterns and characteristics of tree hollows, hollow trees, and the surrounding landscape.

The moulting arthropod: a complete genetic toolkit review
Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 6, Page 2338-2375, December 2024.ABSTRACT Exoskeletons are a defining character of all arthropods that provide physical support for their segmented bodies and appendages as well as protection from the environment and predation. This ubiquitous yet evolutionarily variable feature has been instrumental in facilitating the adoption of a variety of lifestyles and the exploitation of ...

Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2018 Pseudoscorpions are one of the common arthropod in soil mesofauna but are infrequently studied in East Asia. The fauna in South Korea is not adequate enough, and practical faunistic survey of pseudoscorpions have not been conducted in last 20 years.

False scorpions (Arachnida, Pseudoscorpiones) from Lower Cretaceous Spanish amber
Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 10, Issue 6, November/December 2024.Abstract Pseudoscorpions, one of the earliest terrestrial lineages dating back to the Middle Devonian period (c. 385 Ma), have a limited fossil record mainly as inclusions in amber. The available fossils are mostly from the Cenozoic era, making it challenging to comprehensively understand their evolutionary history and diversification over time.

Evolution &Development, Volume 26, Issue 4, July 2024.Developmental transcriptomic data support an unduplicated genome in a solifuge, disfavoring the traditional grouping of pseudoscorpions and camel spiders as Haplocnemata. Abstract Recent advances in higher‐level invertebrate phylogeny have leveraged shared features of genomic architecture to resolve contentious nodes across the tree of life.

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 51, Issue 6, Page 1032-1048, June 2024.Abstract Aim Understanding the historical biogeography of the Earth's oldest terrestrial lineages provides insights into lineage diversification in relation to plate tectonics, climate change and biome shifts at maximum timescales. We investigate the biogeography of an ancient arachnid family, dragon pseudoscorpions, which are found today in mesic ...
