  1. Aug 4, 2021 · We assembled the first harvestman draft genome for the species Phalangium opilio, which bears elongate, prehensile appendages, made possible by numerous distal articles called tarsomeres. Here, we show that the genome of P. opilio exhibits a single Hox cluster and no evidence of WGD.

  2. Mar 19, 2024 · But while looking through a microscope at an embryo of Phalangium opilioa daddy longlegs species—scientists recently discovered four additional eyes that never fully develop.

  4. Mar 14, 2024 · Daddy longlegs have up to two functional eyes and at least one species has four hidden, underdeveloped ones. In this fluorescent microscope image of a Phalangium opilio embryo, the two working...

  5. Relative Effectiveness. Although P. opilio by itself appears unable to keep populations of any pest under control, it serves as one member of a complex of generalist predators that exist in many crops and that together are able to help keep pest densities low.

  6. 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. Resources for this species include developmental transcriptomes, a ...

  7. Phalangium opilio is a univoltine species in Europe, producing one generation per year that overwinters as eggs. Two or more generations may occur within a year in some areas of North America, in which case eggs, immatures, and adults may all overwinter.

  8. 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.
