New Proposal of Setal Homology in Schizomida and Revision of Surazomus (Hubbardiidae) from Ecuador [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The homology of three somatic systems in Schizomida is studied yielding the following results: (1) proposal of homology and chaetotaxy of abdominal setae in Surazomus; (2) revision of the cheliceral chaetotaxy in Schizomida, with suggestion of new ...

Aspects of the Behavior and Activity Rhythms of Rowlandius potiguar (Schizomida: Hubbardiidae) [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Although organisms of the order Schizomida are not widely distributed in caves throughout the world, they can, eventually, be abundant in certain regions, becoming a major faunal element in some caves. The majority of works on this order includes species

The first complete mitochondrial genome of the micro-whip-scorpion Schizomus zhensis (Arachnida: Schizomida) and phylogenetic analysis [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2022 The first complete mitochondrial genome of the micro-whip-scorpion (Schizomus zhensis) was assembled from Illumina-based whole genome sequencing. The circular genome is 14,309 bp in length with 13 protein coding genes, 22 tRNA, 2 rRNAs, and a control ...

Patterns in schizomid flagellum shape from elliptical Fourier analysis [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 The arachnid order Schizomida is a relatively understudied group of soil-dwelling predators found on all continents except Antarctica. While efforts to understand their biology are growing, there is still much to know about them.

The "elongate chelicera problem": A virtual approach in an extinct pterygotid sea scorpion from a 3D kinematic point of view. [PDF]
Ecol EvolHow pterygotid sea scorpions used their tripartite elongate cheliceres to get prey items close to the mouth region remains a conundrum. We applied four different 3D kinematic settings with regard to insertion and orientation of the cheliceres to examine the most likely way this was realized.

Validating COI eDNA Metabarcoding Primers for Detection of Subterranean Fauna. [PDF]
Mol Ecol ResourABSTRACT Subterranean ecosystems host a diverse range of ancient fauna, but studying these ecosystems is challenging due to significant sampling difficulties. Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding offers a promising approach for monitoring subterranean biodiversity, yet issues such as primer bias and non‐target amplification can complicate its ...

Gene and Genome Duplication in Spiders. [PDF]
J Exp Zool B Mol Dev EvolIn chelicerates whole genome duplications (WGDs) were identified in distinct groups. While there is evidence that Xiphosurans/horseshoe crabs had three rounds of WGD and arachnopulmonates (e.g. spiders and scorpions) had one WGD, in many other arachnid groups no WGD was identified.
