DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3897
Abstract: Abstract Recent studies have documented global declines in insects and their relatives, but the exact mechanisms explaining these patterns are not fully understood. A potential driver underlying arthropod population declines is increases in anthropogenic inputs… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/icb/icad050
Abstract: The proliferation of genomic resources for Chelicerata in the past ten years has revealed that the evolution of chelicerate genomes is more dynamic than previously thought, with multiple waves of ancient whole genome duplications affecting… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1755-0998.12621
Abstract: Arachnida is an ancient, diverse and ecologically important animal group that contains a number of species of interest for medical, agricultural and engineering applications. Despite their importance, many aspects of the arachnid tree of life… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/eea.12759
Abstract: Sexual reproduction implies binary outcomes of competitive interactions for access to male gametes: lifelong virgin females with null fitness vs. mated females with variable (generally nonzero) fitness. Female mating failure has long remained a dormant… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0264358
Abstract: It is generally thought that the anterior border of the opisthosoma of acariform mites is delineated by the disjugal furrow, but there is no evidence to support this other than the superficial appearance of tagmosis… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/vetsci5020053
Abstract: In comparison to other arachnids, ticks are major vectors of disease, but less than 8% of the known species are capable of inducing paralysis, as compared to the ~99–100% arachnids that belong to venomous classes.… read more here.
