Adaptation

In biology, adaptation has three related meanings.

See Arthropod mouthparts and Adaptation

Antenna (biology)

Antennae (antenna), sometimes referred to as "feelers", are paired appendages used for sensing in arthropods. Arthropod mouthparts and Antenna (biology) are arthropod anatomy.

See Arthropod mouthparts and Antenna (biology)

Aphid

Aphids are small sap-sucking insects and members of the superfamily Aphidoidea.

See Arthropod mouthparts and Aphid

Appendage

An appendage (or outgrowth) is an external body part, or natural prolongation, that protrudes from an organism's or microorganism's body.

See Arthropod mouthparts and Appendage

Arthropod

Arthropods are invertebrates in the phylum Arthropoda.

See Arthropod mouthparts and Arthropod

Barnacle

Barnacles are arthropods of the subclass Cirripedia in the subphylum Crustacea.

See Arthropod mouthparts and Barnacle

Centipedes (from Neo-Latin centi-, "hundred", and Latin pes, pedis, "foot") are predatory arthropods belonging to the class Chilopoda (Ancient Greek χεῖλος, kheilos, "lip", and Neo-Latin suffix -poda, "foot", describing the forcipules) of the subphylum Myriapoda, an arthropod group which includes millipedes and other multi-legged animals.

See Arthropod mouthparts and Centipede

Chelicerae

The chelicerae are the mouthparts of the subphylum Chelicerata, an arthropod group that includes arachnids, horseshoe crabs, and sea spiders.

See Arthropod mouthparts and Chelicerae

Chelicerata

The subphylum Chelicerata (from Neo-Latin) constitutes one of the major subdivisions of the phylum Arthropoda.

See Arthropod mouthparts and Chelicerata

Class (biology)

In biological classification, class (classis) is a taxonomic rank, as well as a taxonomic unit, a taxon, in that rank.

See Arthropod mouthparts and Class (biology)

Crustacean

Crustaceans are a group of arthropods that are a part of the subphylum Crustacea, a large, diverse group of mainly aquatic arthropods including decapods (shrimps, prawns, crabs, lobsters and crayfish), seed shrimp, branchiopods, fish lice, krill, remipedes, isopods, barnacles, copepods, opossum shrimps, amphipods and mantis shrimp.

East Carolina University

East Carolina University (ECU) is a public university in Greenville, North Carolina, United States.

Eurypterid

Eurypterids, often informally called sea scorpions, are a group of extinct arthropods that form the order Eurypterida.

See Arthropod mouthparts and Eurypterid

Evolution

Evolution is the change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations.

See Arthropod mouthparts and Evolution

Horseshoe crab

Horseshoe crabs are marine and brackish water arthropods of the family Limulidae and are the only surviving xiphosurans.

See Arthropod mouthparts and Horseshoe crab

Insect

Insects (from Latin insectum) are hexapod invertebrates of the class Insecta.

See Arthropod mouthparts and Insect

Mandible (arthropod mouthpart)

The mandibles of a bull ant The mandible (from mandibula or mandĭbŭ-lum, a jaw) of an arthropod is a pair of mouthparts used either for biting or cutting and holding food. Arthropod mouthparts and mandible (arthropod mouthpart) are arthropod anatomy.

See Arthropod mouthparts and Mandible (arthropod mouthpart)

Millipede

Millipedes (originating from the Latin mille, "thousand", and pes, "foot") are a group of arthropods that are characterised by having two pairs of jointed legs on most body segments; they are known scientifically as the class Diplopoda, the name derived from this feature.

See Arthropod mouthparts and Millipede

Mite

Mites are small arachnids (eight-legged arthropods).

See Arthropod mouthparts and Mite

Morphology (biology)

Morphology in biology is the study of the form and structure of organisms and their specific structural features.

See Arthropod mouthparts and Morphology (biology)

Mosquito

Mosquitoes, the Culicidae, are a family of small flies consisting of 3,600 species.

See Arthropod mouthparts and Mosquito

Myriapoda

Myriapods are the members of subphylum Myriapoda, containing arthropods such as millipedes and centipedes.

See Arthropod mouthparts and Myriapoda

Pauropoda

Pauropoda is a class of small, pale, millipede-like arthropods in the subphylum Myriapoda.

See Arthropod mouthparts and Pauropoda

Scorpion

Scorpions are predatory arachnids of the order Scorpiones.

See Arthropod mouthparts and Scorpion

Sea spider

Sea spiders are marine arthropods of the order Pantopoda (‘all feet’), belonging to the class Pycnogonida, hence they are also called pycnogonids (named after Pycnogonum, the type genus; with the suffix). They are cosmopolitan, found in oceans around the world.
