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 authors state that arthropods have the capacity of recognizing self from non-self in various defense phenomena including hemolymph clotting, phagocytosis, encapsulation, melanization and clearance of the foreign matter which must be initiated by a first step of molecular recognition.
The 75000 species within this subphylum belong to three diverse classes. The Classes Merostomata and Pycnogonida include relatively minor, aquatic organisms, the Class Arachnida comprises the vast majority of species (74000 + ) and includes spiders, scorpions, mites and ticks.
