Spiders and their relatives belong to a class called Arachnida which includes spiders, ticks, mites, scorpions and harvestmen. The study of these animals is called arachnology. Characteristics of arachnids Research Research programs are concerned with the systematics, phylogeny and zoogeography of spiders (Araneae), harvestmen (Opiliones) mites (Acarina), particularly in relation to Australian fauna. In addition, spiders and other arachnids are an important component of biodiversity and evolutionary studies undertaken in conjunction with the Centre for Biodiversity and Conservation Research and the Centre for Evolutionary Research.

Al-As Arachnids (pronounced uh-RACK-nidz; class Arachnida) form the second-largest group of land arthropods (phylum Arthropoda) after the class Insecta. There are over 70,000 species of arachnids that include such familiar creatures as scorpions, spiders, harvestmen or daddy longlegs, and ticks and mites, as well as the less common whip scorpions, pseudoscorpions, and sun spiders. The marine horseshoe crabs and sea spiders are near relatives. Arachnids have paired, jointed appendages (parts that are attached to the main body), a hardened exoskeleton ( exo Most arachnids live on land and breathe by means of book lungs (socalled because their thin membranes are arranged like the pages of a book) or by tracheae (small tubes that distribute air from the outside throughout the body), or both. Most are flesh-eating predators. They feed by piercing the body of their prey and directly consuming its body fluids or by releasing digestive secretions that predigest the food before they eat it. In spiders, the abdomen is separated from the joined head and thorax by a narrow waist. The large and powerful first appendages of some spiders contain poison glands at their base, while the tips serve as fangs that inject the poison into prey. The second appendages of spiders are long and leglike. In male spiders, these appendages each contain an organ used to transfer sperm to the female. Some species of spiders have only book lungs for breathing, while others have both book lungs and tracheae.

    PhysOrg news A rarity among arachnids, whip spiders have a sociable family life.

    Extractions: Whip spiders, considered by many to be creepy-crawly, are giving new meaning to the term touchy-feely. In two species of whip spiders, or amblypygids, mothers caress their young with long feelers, siblings stick together until they reach sexual maturity, and all mix in social groups. This is surprising behavior for these arachnids long-thought to be purely aggressive and anti-social, according to a Cornell researcher. Social behavior is extremely rare in arachnids, a class that includes spiders, amblypygids, scorpions and mites, among others; only 76 (or less than 0.1 percent) out of the 93,000 known arachnid species have been observed living in social groups. The research, appearing in recent issues of both the Journal of Arachnology and Natural History magazine, marks the first time social behavior has been reported in amblypygids. "This was the best example I had ever seen of friendly behavior in an arachnid," said Linda Rayor, senior research associate in entomology and the lead author of both articles. Rayor describes in the articles how mothers habitually stroke their offspring with their long, thin whiplike front legs and how the siblings congregate in social groups.

On September 27, 2008 the Academy will open to the public once again in its new home in the Park. Many curious museum-goers have asked, why the long gap between closing and opening? 265 days is long time to move across town. The Botany collection was the first to move out of Howard Street. It took only eleven and a half days to move two million specimens. For perspective, it took 61,300 cardboard inserts bundled with over 40 miles of twine to bundle the flora. Botany is only one of eight Academy research departments preparing to move. Monarch, the last Grizzly bear of California Australian Lungfish Cultural keepsakes will be preserved. Pre-Columbian Inca clothing, 12th Century Persian ceramics, fragile feather leis, full-sized Native Alaskan kayaks, 500 Japanese folk toys, and a renowned collection of eating utensils will also find their home in Golden Gate Park.

Arachnids are members of the subphylum Chelicerata, which also includes the phylogenetically ancient horseshoe crabs Like other arthropods, arachnids have paired, jointed appendages, a hardened exoskeleton, a segmented body, and a well-developed head. They differ from other arthropods by the organization of their body into two main parts, the prosoma (equivalent to the head and thorax of insects ) and the opisthosoma (or the abdomen). There are six pairs of appendages associated with the prosoma. The first pair are stabbing appendages near the mouth called chelicerae, used for grasping and cutting, and the second pair are called pedipalps or general purpose mouthparts. The last four pairs of appendages are the walking legs. Most arachnids are terrestrial and respire by means of book lungs, or by tracheae (air tubes from the outside to the tissues), or both. Most arachnids are terrestrial carnivorous predators. They feed by piercing the body of their prey , and then either directly ingesting its body fluids, or by releasing digestive secretions onto the outside of the prey to predigest the food before ingestion.

Box 30651, Seattle, WA 98113, xenoblatta@hotmail.com. New structures (‘microtubercle rows’) are reported on the patella and tibia of the fourth walking legs of the trigonotarbid Aphantomartus pustulatus . These ‘rows’ are similar in shape and location to the calamistrum (used to comb out fine catching threads) in cribellate spiders. Silk-producing structures are unknown in trigonotarbids. Alternatively, these ‘microtubercle rows’ may represent cleaning structures or possibly trichobothria, filiform hairs of extreme sensitivity used to trigger ‘fight or flight’ responses in spiders. Numbers of trichobothria are known to correspond to spider ecology—with 20 to 1000 per leg of ground spiders and about 10 per leg of web spiders. Thirty-seven microtubercles are reported on the ‘row’ of the left patella on the Cemetery Hill Aphantomartus , which is consistent with ground spiders and the interpretation that Aphantomartus was a ‘sit-and-wait’ predator.
