      • 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.

  2. 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 ...

  3. 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.

  4. Feb 1, 2005 · Abstract. The harvestman Phalangium opilio L. is an abundant predator in an array of habitats, including agricultural systems. In these systems, P. opilio has been noted to feed on pest species (e.g., Colorado potato beetle larvae, various aphid species, and lepidopteran eggs).

  5. 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.

  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. Mar 4, 2022 · For these reasons, Phalangium opilio is poised to serve as a linchpin for comparative studies of chelicerate embryology and genomic evolution across Arthropoda.

  8. It is also most abundant in anthropogenic habitats, [4] and is thus considered a synanthropic species of harvestmen. In can be found in habitats modified by humans, such as gardens, agroecosystems, hedgerows, lawns, quarries, urban green spaces, walls and bridges. [5]
