Many of these species seem to have coevolved with chironomid midges and many other aquatic Diptera, and consequently exhibit comparably high levels of taxonomic and ecological diversity. In basal chelicerates, the pedipalps are unspecialized and subequal to the posterior pairs of walking legs.As in all arthropods, the chelicerate body has a very small These depend on individual sub-groups' environments. Although the vast majority of arachnid species are terrestrial, the Chelicerata originated in marine habitats, and the most basal extant chelicerates, the horseshoe crabs (Class Merostomata, Order Xiphosura), are still restricted to the ocean. The few other examples of arachnids taking up a secondarily aquatic lifestyle are among the spiders, of which only one species is truly subaquatic. The subphylum Chelicerata (New Latin, from French chélicère, from Greek χηλή, khēlē "claw, chela" and κέρας, kéras "horn") constitutes one of the major subdivisions of the phylum Arthropoda.It contains the sea spiders, arachnids (including scorpions, spiders, and potentially horseshoe crabs), and several extinct lineages, such as the eurypterids.
Some early fossils such as the Late Although well behind the insects, chelicerates are one of the most diverse groups of animals, with over 77,000 living species that have been described in scientific publications.Because spider silk is both light and very strong, but large-scale harvesting from spiders is impractical, work is being done to produce it in other organisms by means of In the 20th century, there were about 100 reliably reported deaths from spider bites,A few of the closely related mites also infest humans, some causing intense itching by their bites, and others by burrowing into the skin. ;
Modern terrestrial chelicerates generally have both The guts of most modern chelicerates are too narrow to take solid food.Chelicerate nervous systems are based on the standard arthropod model of a pair of There is a notable but variable trend towards fusion of other ganglia into the brain.

Spiders are truly amazing animals.
This new improved aspect of … The abdomen may have limbs as well, called pleopods or “swimmerettes,” which can be used to propel the animal. 2007. The true water mites comprise a taxon of actinedid acariform mites which we refer to here as Hydrachnida (Hydrachnellae, Hydracarina, or Hydrachnidia of other authors). The sea spiders (Pycnogonida) also have chelate mouthparts and lack antennae, but their phylogenetic affinities are murky.
Mites include approximately 48,000–55,000 named species of small arachnids, with a likely true diversity of 0.5 to 1 million species (Invasion of freshwaters by arachnids has been restricted almost entirely to the mites, and most of these are within the superorder Acariformes. An attempt in 2002 to combine analysis of The position of scorpions is particularly controversial.
Chelicerata: Araneae, Acari 1 (Süßwasserfauna von Mitteleuropa 7/2-1) by Gerecke, R. Jadi Chelicerata merupakan semacam kelompok besar yang memayungi jenis-jenis laba-laba, kalajengking, kalajengking semu, kalacuka dan bahkan mimi dan mintuno.Kelompok Chelicerata ini dikenal karena anggotanya mempunya alat mulut berupa chelicera yang terdiri dari dua segmen.
This contrasts with many orders of insects independently and repeatedly invading freshwaters.
The The Myriapoda have elongated bodies with serially homologous body segments, each bearing two pairs of limbs. Various families in certain suborders of Acariformes (namely, Actinedida, The fossil record is incomplete, so inferences made about lineages of organisms are based on what the scientist can observe and measure. The abdomen may have limbs as well, called pleopods or “swimmerettes,” which can be used to propel the animal.
Welcome to the wonderful world of spiders.
Hydrachnida have flourished to become by far the most numerous, diverse, and ecologically important group of freshwater arachnids. Scorpions carry their young on their backs until the first The eurypterids have left few good fossils and one of the earliest confirmed eurypterid, The "traditional" view of the arthropod "family tree" shows chelicerates as less closely related to the other major living groups (It is generally agreed that the Chelicerata contain the However, the structure of "family tree" relationships within the Chelicerata has been controversial ever since the late 19th century. Crustacea Members of the class Arachnida are the most familiar representatives of the arthropodan subphylum Mites belonging to several unrelated groups are commonly found in freshwater habitats.
