   P. opilio is a generalist predator and scavenger that feeds on soft-bodied animals found in crops, such as aphids, caterpillars, leafhoppers, beetle larvae, and mites. Sometimes it may also scavenge on hard-bodied animals, such as various arthropods, including other harvestmen. [6]

   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.

   Does Phalangium opilio have WGD?

   • 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.

   Does Phalangium opilio have systemic genome duplication?

   • 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 ].
