Abstract

A survey is given of the functional morphology of extant Chelicerata with special reference to segmentation of the body, segmentation and articulation of the legs, coxal glands, mouthparts and ingestion, respiratory organs, sperm transfer, and development. This is followed by a discussion of primitive types, evolution and diversity, the transition from aquatic to terrestrial life, and the affinities of extant chelicerate groups.
