HEAVY METALS IN CUTICULAR STRUCTURES OF PALPIGRADI, RICINULEI, AND SCHIZOMIDA (ARACHNIDA)
Copyright policy )HEAVY METALS IN CUTICULAR STRUCTURES OF PALPIGRADI, RICINULEI, AND SCHIZOMIDA (ARACHNIDA)
Abstract Samples from Palpigradi, Ricinulei, and Schizomida were examined by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) for the presence of metallic elements in cuticular structures. Manganese was found in Ricinulei while zinc was found in Palpigradi and Schizomida. When presence or absence of zinc is superimposed on a cladogram of arachnid orders, its absence in the Acaromorpha (Acari + Ricinulei) appears to be a derived condition. Similarly the absence of manganese in the Uropygi (Schizomida + Thelyphonida) may be synapomorphic as well.
