Under phylum Arthropoda are several subphyla including subphylum Hexapoda which contains class Insecta (the insects); and Myriapoda which contains class Chilipoda (the centipedes) and class Diplopoda (the millipedes).
Arthropods are divided into three subphyla: Chelicerata, Myriapoda, and Pancrustacea (which includes Crustacea and Hexapoda). Each subphylum represents a distinct group of arthropods with specific characteristics and differences in body structure and function.
A decapod is part of the subphylum Crustacea (which is part of Arthropods).
Along with centipedes, the millipedes belong to the Myriapoda subphylum of Arthropoda.
Chelicerata is the subphylum of arthropods that is characterized by animals lacking antennae. This subphylum includes arachnids like spiders, scorpions, and ticks.
Spiders and scorpions are arthropods with neither antenna nor wings; they are members of subphylum Chelicerata.
Yes, spiders are arthropods, falling under class Arachnida under subphylum Chelicerata of phylum Arthropoda.
The largest group of arthropods would be subphylum Hexapoda which includes the insects. Over a million insect species have been described and estimates indicate millions more remain yet to be described.
Crustacea refers to crustaceans, a subphylum of primarily aquatic arthropods. Crustaceans include crabs, lobstersm shrimp, crayfish, barnacles, krill, and woodlice.
Chelicerae are specialized feeding appendages found in chelicerates, a subphylum of arthropods that includes spiders, scorpions, and horseshoe crabs. They are used for grasping and tearing food. Other arthropods, such as insects and crustaceans, have different types of mouthparts for feeding, like mandibles or maxillae.
On the biological ruler, arthropods tend towards the small end of the spectrum, owing to physical limits imposed by their methods for respiration, gas exchange and circulatory system; a high surface area to volume ratio serves them quite well on these counts. The smallest arthropods known are a crustacean parasite, Stygotantulus stocki, around a hundred micrometers long (about 4 thousandths of an inch).
Arthropods are classified into five subphyla: Trilobitomorpha, Chelicerata, Myriapoda, Crustacea, and Hexapoda. Each subphylum represents a distinct group of arthropods with unique characteristics and features, such as the presence of jointed legs and exoskeletons.
