In recent years researchers have analyzed the expression patterns of the Hox genes in a
multitude of arthropod species, with the hope of understanding the mechanisms at work in …

Limb morphology across the arthropods is reviewed using external morphological and
internal anatomical data from both recent and fossil arthropods. Evolutionary trends in limb …

Most mites are minuscule, barely perceptible to even the sharpest eyes, but size is a poor
guide to importance. When a crop disappears under a blanket of silk or stored food turns into …

The interrelationships of major clades within the Arthropoda remain one of the most
contentious issues in systematics, which has traditionally been the domain of morphologists …

Background Invertebrate nervous systems are highly disparate between different taxa. This
is reflected in the terminology used to describe them, which is very rich and often confusing …
