Originating from a marine ancestor, the myriapods most likely invaded land independently of hexapods. As these two evolutionary lineages conquered in parallel but separately, we are interested comparing myriapod chemosensory system to that hexapods gain insights into possible adaptations for olfaction air. Our study connects previous analysis brain and behavior chilopod (centipede) Scutigera coleoptrata which demonstrated animals do respond volatile substances analyzed structure their...
Representatives of at least six crustacean taxa managed to establish a terrestrial life style during their evolutionary history and the Oniscidea (Isopoda) are currently held as most successfully terrestrialized malacostracan crustaceans. The brain architecture isopods is fairly well understood studies on this field suggest that transition from sea land in coincided with considerable size reduction functional loss first pair antennae associated areas. This finding suggests may have no or...
Abstract Background Evolution of novelty is a central theme in evolutionary biology, yet studying the origins traits with an apparently discontinuous origin remains major challenge. Venom systems are well-suited model for study this phenomenon because they capture several aspects across multiple levels biological complexity. However, while there some knowledge on evolution individual toxins, not much known about venom as whole. One way shedding light new to investigate less specialised...
In the context of evolutionary arthopodial transformations, centipede ultimate legs exhibit a plethora morphological modifications and behavioral adaptations. Many species possess significantly elongated, thickened, or pincer-like legs. They are frequently sexually dimorphic, indicating role in courtship mating. addition, glandular pores occur more commonly on than walking legs, secretion, chemical communication, predator avoidance. this framework, study characterizes evolutionarily...
In light of competing hypotheses on arthropod phylogeny, independent data are needed in addition to traditional morphology and modern molecular approaches. One promising approach involves comparisons structure development the nervous system. brain ventral nerve cord anatomy, individually identifiable neurons (IINs) provide new character sets for comparative neurophylogenetic analyses. However, very few species transmitter systems have been investigated, still fewer centipedes included such a...
