Aug 4, 2021 · Developmental transcriptomes of the emerging model species Phalangium opilio have suggested that harvestmen do not exhibit systemic genome duplication, as evidenced by the absence of paralogy across the homeobox gene family [2,14] and gene expression patterns of genes with known paralogues in arachnopulmonates [2,6].
Mar 4, 2022 · One arachnid species that has emerged in the evo-devo literature as a focal taxon for comparative studies is the daddy-long-legs Phalangium opilio Linnaeus 1758 [27–39], a member of the order Opiliones (commonly known as “harvestmen”), and the first species of Opiliones described with the Linnean system.

The rapid emergence and utility of Phalangium opilio as a model for evolutionary developmental biology of arthropods serve as demonstrative evidence of a new area of study in Opiliones biology, made possible through transcriptomic data. INTRODUCTION.
Mar 4, 2022 · A promising focal species for chelicerate evo-devo is the daddy-long-legs (harvestman) Phalangium opilio, a member of the order Opiliones. Phalangium opilio, breeds prolifically and is easily accessible in many parts of the world, as well as tractable in a laboratory setting.
Jan 11, 2021 · Developmental transcriptomes of the emerging model species Phalangium opilio have suggested that harvestmen do not exhibit systemic genome duplication, as evidenced by Hox gene complements (Sharma, Schwager, Extavour, & Giribet, 2012), absence of paralogy across the homeobox gene family (Leite et al., 2018), and gene expression patterns of singl...

What is Phalangium opilio?
As an arachnid species, P. opilio have four pairs of legs. Three of these pairs are for movement, but the longest, second pair is antennae-shaped and primarily used as a sensory appendage to feel their surroundings.
