  4. Phalangium opilio. (Arachnida: Opiliones, Phalangiidae) Harvestman, Daddy longlegs, Harvest spider. Of the many species of harvestmen known, P. opilio tends to be the most common in relatively disturbed habitats such as most crops in temperate regions. Like the spiders and most adult mites, harvestmen have two major body sections and eight legs ...

  5. 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.

  6. Mar 14, 2024 · Despite its two-eyed appearance, Phalangium opilio has six peepers. The four extra eyes — leftovers of evolution — shed light on the evolutionary history of daddy longlegs. ljphoto7/iStock ...

  7. Phalangium opilio is common around buildings and introduced throughout the world. The sclerosomatid Leiobunum spp. are common in North American and European forests, in which they move easily across the upper vegetation.

  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.
