...Callum J. McLean; Charlotte A. Brassey; Michael Seiter; Russell J. Garwood; James D. Gardiner ABSTRACT The link between form and function is key to understanding the evolution of unique and/or extreme morphologies. Amblypygids, or whip spiders, are arachnids that often have highly elongated spined...

...Andrew T. Sensenig; Jeffrey W. Shultz SUMMARY Certain leg joints in arachnids lack extensor muscles and have elastically deformable transarticular sclerites spanning their arthrodial membranes, an arrangement consistent with a model in which flexor muscles load transarticular sclerites during...

...Jeffrey W. Shultz ABSTRACT Activity patterns of six morphologically similar, homologous muscles were recorded from the fourth leg pair in two species of arachnids that use different mechanisms to extend the femur-patella (knee) joint during locomotion. The giant whipscorpion Mastigoproctus...
