1 day ago · 2024 in arthropod paleontology is a list of new arthropod fossil taxa, including arachnids, crustaceans, trilobites, and other arthropods (except insects, which have their own list) that were announced or described, as well as other significant arthropod paleontological discoveries and events which occurred in 2024.
3 days ago · Trilobites (/ ˈ t r aɪ l ə ˌ b aɪ t s, ˈ t r ɪ l ə-/; meaning "three lobes") are extinct marine arthropods that form the class Trilobita. Trilobites form one of the earliest known groups of arthropods.
1 day ago · They also are preyed on by many animals and even certain fungi. Some arthropod species spend part of their lives within ant nests, either preying on ants, their larvae, and eggs, consuming the food stores of the ants, or avoiding predators. These inquilines may bear a close resemblance to ants.
4 days ago · Arthropods are a highly diverse and abundant group of invertebrates that covers insects, myriapods, crustaceans, and arachnids – together representing around 75 percent of the world's animal life. Within this group, there are subgroups.
4 days ago · Both arthropods and vertebrates have articulated skeletons. Components of the skeleton meet (articulate) at joints, which allows one part of the body to move in relation to another. Muscles spanning joints and anchored to different parts of the skeleton provide the power for movement. Articulated skeletons serve two functions.
4 days ago · Myriapods of the sea shore. As with other terrestrial arthropod groups such as spiders, scorpions, pseudoscorpions and insects, a variety of species from the four multi-legged arthropod classes (Pauropoda, Symphyla, Diplopoda and Chilopoda) collectively known as myriapods have been described from seashore sites at different times.
