This paper presents the first high-quality genome assembly of a cave-dwelling remipede, revealing a repeat-rich genome with extensive gene family turnover and phylogenetic signals.

This study uses comparative genomics to identify molecular adaptations in solifuges, revealing positive selection in gene families related to metabolism and detoxification.

The paper uses genomic data to investigate arachnid phylogeny, finding that ancient whole genome duplications and fusion-with-mixing events do not resolve conflicts in higher-level relationships.

This study uses 16S rRNA sequencing to investigate bacterial presence in scorpion venom, finding microbial communities that differ between two scorpion species from distinct geographic regions.

This paper presents the first chromosome-level genome assembly and annotation for the desert hairy scorpion Hadrurus arizonensis, providing a critical resource for arachnid phylogeny and functional genomics.

This study presents the genome of a daddy-long-legs and investigates appendage development through functional experiments, revealing conserved and coopted roles of Egfr in leg patterning across arthropods.
