very reduced abdomen - typically have 1 pair chelicerae (3-segmented), 1 pair ovigers, 4 pair walking legs, and simple eyes - unusual reproductive biology: males brood embryos on special legs (ovigers); only arthropod group with sole male parental care!
The arthropod group Chelicerata includes animals as diverse as spiders, scorpions, mites, ticks and horseshoe crabs. In addition to these well-known living animals, it includes important extinct groups such as the eurypterids (sea "scorpions").
This review analyses the mechanisms of neurogenesis, the morphology of serotonergic interneurons, the number of motoneurons, and cellular features and development of the lateral eyes of Chelicerata.
