KEY DEVELOPMENTAL EVENTS IN THE ORIBATID MITE, ARCHEGOZETES LONGISETOSUS, AND THE EVOLUTION OF CHELICERATE BODY PLANS.
The chelicerates (e.g., spiders, mites, scorpions, harvestmen and horseshoe crabs) are oneof the oldest arthropod clades, arising in the Cambrian. The chelicerates display a conserved body plan comprising of an anterior prosoma and a posterior opisthosoma. The prosoma comprises the segments bearing …

Appendage development and early Distal-less regulation in arthropods: A study of the chelicerate Tetranychus urticae (Acarida)
… of their orthologs in the widely disparate chelicerate, the spider mite Tetranychus urticae – interpreting new data with that available for other arthropods. Having made a detailed study of spider mite embryonic (and post-embryonic) development, to provide a basis for understanding mRNA …

Head and protocerebral patterning in the spider Parasteatoda tepidariorum
Chelicerates (including spiders, scorpions, horseshoe crabs, mites and ticks) diverged from other mandibulate arthropods (insects, crustaceans, centipedes and millipedes) around 500 million years ago, making them good models to study whether traits and mechanisms of development are ancestral or …

Key role and diversity of EcR/USP and other nuclear receptors in selected Arthropoda species
… buff-tailed bumblebee Bombus terrestris and the chelicerate two-spotted spidermite Tetranychus urticae as representatives of their respective clades. The main research questions that were addressed in the PhD thesis were: (1) Do holometabolic, hemimetabolic and non-insect arthropods exhibit …

Pseudoscorpion Systematics & Phylogenetics: Exploring the Effects of Accelerated Rates of Evolution on Both Ancient and Recent Diversification
… of silk, venom, phoresy (hitchhiking), and the chelicerate body plan. The advent of molecular sequencing technologies has illuminated additional fascinating biological attributes about these animals, including abnormal mitochondrial tRNA and rRNA genes, accelerated rates of nucleotide …
