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