Current views on chelicerate phylogeny—A tribute to Peter Weygoldt
(Elsevier BV, 2018)Peter Weygoldt pioneered studies of arachnid phylogeny by providing the first synapomorphy scheme to underpin inter-ordinal relationships. Since this seminal work, arachnid relationships have been evaluated using morphological ... -
Distal-less and Dachshund Pattern both Plesiomorphic and Apomorphic Structures in Chelicerates: RNA Interference in the Harvestman Phalangium opilio (Opiliones)
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013-04-08)The discovery of genetic mechanisms that can transform a morphological structure from a plesiomorphic (=primitive) state to an apomorphic (=derived) one is a cardinal objective of evolutionary developmental biology. However, ... -
Expression-Linked Patterns of Codon Usage, Amino Acid Frequency, and Protein Length in the Basally Branching Arthropod Parasteatoda tepidariorum
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2016)Spiders belong to the Chelicerata, the most basally branching arthropod subphylum. The common house spider, Parasteatoda tepidariorum, is an emerging model and provides a valuable system to address key questions in molecular ... -
vasa and piwi are required for mitotic integrity in early embryogenesis in the spider Parasteatoda tepidariorum
(Elsevier BV, 2015)Studies in vertebrate and invertebrate model organisms on the molecular basis of primordial germ cell (PGC) specification have revealed that metazoans can specify their germ line either early in development by maternally ...
