Arthropoda
Top > Biology > Biota > Fauna > Arthropoda
Arthropods (Arthropoda) have segmented bodies which are protected by a hard outer skeleton (exoskeleton) plus attached appendages for feeding, sensory reception, defense, and locomotion. They can be separated into crustaceans (Crustacea), insects (Hexapoda), millipedes (Myriapoda) and spiders (Chelicerata). We provide comprehensive descriptions including anatomy, physiology, behavior, distribution, reproduction and life cycle, habitat, and other biological or ecological aspects of arthropods.
