Aug 4, 2021 · 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].
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 ...
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]

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 ...

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 ...
Oct 19, 2023 · Climate change affects global temperature and precipitation patterns. These effects, in turn, influence the intensity and, in some cases, the frequency of extreme environmental events, such as forest fires, hurricanes, heat waves, floods, droughts, and storms.
The causes are overfishing as well as increased water temperatures as a result of climate change. Cancellation of the crab fishery has significant implications for fishermen, industry, and communities.
