Solifugae is an order of arachnids known variously as solifuges, sun spiders, camel spiders, and wind scorpions. The order includes more than 1,000 described species in about 147 genera . Despite the common names, they are neither true scorpions (order Scorpiones) nor true spiders (order Araneae ).
Hydrachnidia, also known as "water mites", Hydrachnidiae, Hydracarina or Hydrachnellae, are among the most abundant and diverse groups of benthic arthropods, composed of 6,000 described species from 57 families. [3]
The ocean plays a key role in the water cycle as it is the source of 86% of global evaporation. [2] The water cycle involves the exchange of energy, which leads to temperature changes. When water evaporates, it takes up energy from its surroundings and cools the environment. When it condenses, it releases energy and warms the environment.
Aquatic insects or water insects live some portion of their life cycle in the water. They feed in the same ways as other insects . Some diving insects, such as predatory diving beetles , can hunt for food underwater where land-living insects cannot compete .
Boreosolifugae is a suborder of animals in the order Solifugae.In 2023, the internal phylogeny of solifuges was resolved for the first time using phylogenomics. [1] The molecular phylogeny of the order showed evidence for two groups of families, which were recognized as suborders.
There are a number of similarities between the Solifugae and the genus Platyoides. The main similarity is the anatomy and colouring of the two species. In particular, the Solifugae and the genus Platyoides share the distinctive feature of longer than average extremities that aid both of the spider species to flatten themselves under rocks and ...
