• Domain: Eukarya

• Multicellular with cells that contain a nucleus and membrane bound cell bodies

• Dueterostomes or Protostomes?

• Chelicerates fall under the protostomes as during the embryonic phase, their blastophore form mouths first.

Page 4: Che Lice Rates

• Supergroup: Ecdysozoa

• Chelicerates are classified under Ecdysozoa as they molt their cuticle layers (ecdysis) as they grow

• These cuticle layers contain chitin as well as other proteins

• Phylum: Arthropods

• Classified as Arthropods because of their segmented bodies and heads and jointed legs

Page 5: Che Lice Rates

• Chelicerata:

• The Chelicerates, similarly to most other arthropods, have segmented bodies, however, are separated differently. They have an anterior cephalothorax and a posterior abdomen. Chelicerates lack antennae and most have simple eyes (eyes with a single lens)

• Chelicerae are claw like feeding appendages located near the mouth. Chelicerae can serve as pincers or fangs and are what give Chelicerates their name

Page 6: Che Lice Rates

• Some types of Chelicerate: Marine chelicerates are horseshoe crabs and sea spiders

• Earliest chelicerates were eurypterids (water scorpions). Most marine chelicerates, including all of the eurypterids, are now extinct

• Arachnids (Spiders, scorpions, ticks, and mites)

• Parasitic arthropods: Ticks and mites; nearly all ticks and parasitic mites are parasites that feed off of the blood of their host (Ticks target mammals and reptiles; Parasitic mites target vertebrates, invertebrates, and plants).

• As Arthropods, Chelicerates have:

• Segmented bodies

• Segmented heads

• Jointed limbs

• Cuticles containing Chitin

• A small coloem

• Open Circulator system

Page 11: Che Lice Rates

• Appendages in front of their mouths called Chelicerae

• The Chelicerates body plan contains two of a segment called tagmata: the cephalothorax, and the abdomen

• Pedipalps which are an additional pair of appendages in front of the legs specific to Chelicerates

Page 12: Che Lice Rates

• As arthropods, Chelicerates contain several body components as other arthropods

• Like most arthropods, terrestrial Chelicerates breathe through malphigian tubules and have a cloaca to excrete waste and their marine counterpart have gills

• Their exoskeletons are made of chitin and are sectioned off into segmented portions

• However, unlike the rest of the arthropods, Chelicerates have special mouthparts called Chelicerae where they get their name

• Chelicerates are divided into 2 parts: The cephalothorax, and the abdomen

• The cephalothorax in chelicerates is difference to that of other arthropods

• A cephalothorax is the combination of the head and thorax seen in other arthropods

• The cephalothorax contains a few major components such as the brain while the abdomen contains most of the other major organs such as the stomach and heart

• The word Chelicerae is derived from a Greek term meaning,“Claw Horns”

• There are 3 kinds of Chelicerae, jackknife, scissor, and the 3-segmented chelate

• Jackknife Chelicerae are most commonly found in spiders

Page 15: Che Lice Rates
Page 16: Che Lice Rates

• Scissor Chelicerae are found on pseudoscorpions and some spiders

• 3-segmented Chelates occur on most other Chelicerates

• In spiders, the Chelicerae contain the fangs and aid with the eating process

• The Pedipalps are a pair of appendages unique to the Chelicerates

• They generally exist in front of the mouth and a various different uses

• In spiders, the pedipalps help with sensory and moving food towards the Chelicerae and mouth

• In scorpions, the pedipalps are their large front claws which are also known as Chelae

• Found among a large group of vertebrate hosts

• Moist forests and areas of vegetation are most productive regions for ticks

• Mites are found in a broad area of habitats including saline and fresh water, soils, plants and animals (humans too)

• Spiders construct silk characterized by it’s species and can use it to build perfect webs in their first try, to cover their eggs, catch insects and even as a “gift wrap” for food to give to the ladies during courtship.

• Scorpions are primarily nocturnal

• Mainly found in tropics and subtropics but some in temperate; especially deserts

• Usually stay in underground burrows in day as it retain a higher humidity, lowers temperature and protects

• Uses neurotoxin venom that causes paralysis to kill prey

Page 22: Che Lice Rates

• Horseshoe crabs are omnivorous scavengers and feed on small bivalves, mollusks, worms, dead fish and algae.

• The 4 remaining species are found in the coastal waters of Asia from India to Japan & the Atlantic coastline of North America

Page 23: Che Lice Rates

P Y C O G O N I D S ( S E A S P I D E R S )

• Found in all oceans, especially polar areas

• Most are carnivorous, and feed on bryozoans, hydroids and polychaetes

• Over half the chelicerates contribute to human harm, including death

• Used until the 1970’s as a cheap fertilizer

• Their blood or components are used to produce pharmaceuticals and perform research

• Many are used as bait for eels, conch and whelk

Page 27: Che Lice Rates
Page 28: Che Lice Rates

• They are important food sources (loggerhead and turtles)

• Their eggs are also a food source for migrating birds

• Venom from the death stalker scorpion and the black widow spider are being used to create new treatments for cancer and Alzheimer's Disease.

• Spiders produce silk that is tougher than Kevlar (which has instigated research into super-strong materials)

Page 29: Che Lice Rates
Page 30: Che Lice Rates

• Spiders have over 50,000 described species. Mites and ticks have around around 48,200 species and 1200 species of scorpions

• Ticks and mites transmit a greater variety of human and animal pathogens than any other arthropod agent (e.g Lyme disease tick)

• Mites and ticks are all over place, in your homes, outside, everywhere

• YES!! Our skin is covered with crawling mites.

• Humans host two species of mites: face mites or follicle mites

• Humans are born mite free but over time, they are infested

• They are also spread by contact
