Article Abstract
We report the first record of the pallenopsid pycnogonid species (Schimkewitsch, 1893) from the northwestern Pacific. Based on one male specimen collected from 1987-2007 m depth off the southeastern coast of Hokkaido, Japan, we redescribe the species and present its cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) sequence for use in future DNA barcoding. We found a cystidean-stage crinoid on the leg-1 femur of the sea spider, representing the first record of a cystidean found on a sea spider. BLAST searches for COI and 28S sequences revealed that the crinoid was (Clark, 1907).

Boat noise has been shown to distract and cause harm to many marine organisms. Most of the study effort has focused on fish & marine mammals, even though invertebrates represent over 92 % of all marine life. The few studies conducted on invertebrates have demonstrated clear negative effects of anthropogenic noise pollution.

Despite the availability of current peripheral pain medications, patients continue to experience acute pain and often need more potent analgesic options. As a result, the discovery of novel molecules is of significant importance. In recent years, the functional properties of peptides have opened new possibilities for pain treatment.

Evolutionary history of Old World cellar spiders in the context of Neo-Tethyan sea-land transformations.

The ancient Neo-Tethyan region underwent profound tectonic transformations, including the orogenesis of the Xizang Plateau and the westward retreat and ultimate closure of the Neo-Tethyan Ocean. These events significantly influenced the diversification and biogeography of aquatic animals. However, the impact of these large-scale sea-land shifts on the long-range evolutionary history of terrestrial fauna remains unclear.

Fossils from the lower Cambrian provide crucial insights into the diversification of arthropod lineages: Mandibulata, represented by centipedes, insects, and crustaceans; Chelicerata, represented by sea spiders, horseshoe crabs, and arachnids-the last including spiders, scorpions, and ticks. Two mid-Cambrian genera claimed as stem chelicerates are Mollisonia and Sanctacaris, defined by a carapaced prosoma equipped with clustered limbs, followed by a segmented trunk opisthosoma equipped with appendages for swimming and respiration. Until now, the phyletic status of Mollisoniidae and Sanctacarididae has been that of a basal chelicerate, stemward of Leanchoiliidae, whose neuromorphology resembles that of extant Merostomata (horseshoe crabs).
