    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandible_(arthropod_mouthpart)

    The mandible (from Latin: mandibula or mandĭbŭ-lum, a jaw) [1] of an arthropod is a pair of mouthparts used either for biting or cutting and holding food. Mandibles are often simply called jaws. Mandibles are often simply called jaws.

  3. Arthropod mouthparts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthropod_mouthparts

    Crustaceans comprise a number of classes, with various feeding modes supported by a range of adaptations to the mouthparts. In general, however, crustaceans possess paired mandibles with opposing biting and grinding surfaces. The mandibles are followed by paired first and second maxillae.

  4. Mandibulata - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandibulata

    Mandibulates include the crustaceans, myriapods (centipedes and millipedes), and all true insects. The name "Mandibulata" refers to the mandibles , a modified pair of limbs used in food processing, the presence of which are characteristic of most members of the group.

    Abludomelita obtusata, an amphipod. Crustaceans (from Latin meaning: "those with shells" or "crusted ones") are invertebrate animals that constitute one group of arthropods that are a part of the subphylum Crustacea (/ k r ə ˈ s t eɪ ʃ ə /), a large, diverse group of mainly aquatic arthropods including decapods (shrimps, prawns, crabs, lobsters and crayfish), seed shrimp, branchiopods ...

    Skara is a genus of “maxillopod” crustacean known from the Upper Cambrian Orsten deposit of Sweden and similarly aged deposits in China. [2] It is the only genus in the order Skaracarida and family Skaraidae, and contains three species, S. anulata, S. minuta and S. hunanensis.

  8. Maxilla (arthropod mouthpart) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxilla_(arthropod_mouthpart)

    These structures show an incredible diversity throughout crustaceans but generally are very much flattened and leaf-like. The two pairs are normally positioned very close together and their apical parts generally are in direct contact with the mandible. [5] [page needed]

  9. Pedipalp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedipalp

    Pedipalps are traditionally thought to be homologous with mandibles in crustaceans and insects, although more recent studies (e.g. using Hox genes) suggest they are probably homologous with the crustacean second antennae.
