	Amblypygid - Open Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		An amblypygid is an invertebrate animal belonging to the order Amblypygi in the class Arachnida, in the subphylum Chelicerata of the phylum Arthropoda.
		The name "amblypygid" means "blunt rump", a reference to a lack of the telson ("tail") carried by related species.
		Amblypygids often move about sideways on their six walking legs, with one "whip" pointed in the direction of travel while the other probes on either side of them.

		Amblypygider er opbygget af en forkrop (cephalothorax) og en leddelt bagkrop (abdomen).
		Amblypygider har ikke kannibalistiske tilbøjeligheder overfor individer af samme størrelse.

		Amblypygids are arachnids and have eight legs, two of which are modified into the most remarkable feelers.
		Amblypygids are unbelievably sensitive to air movement and vibrations and they will dart back down the tunnel at the slightest stimulus, moving almost too fast to see.
		If you are very careful you can sometimes slip a small dental mirror or stick behind the amblypygid before it moves off and herd it out of the burrow far enough for you to plug the burrow entrance with a large wad of cotton (or a small piece of cloth), trapping the amblypygid outside.

		A distinctive characteristic of amblypygids is their long antenniform first pair of legs.
		In my first series of experiments, I will quantify amblypygid behavior and whip movement when animals of different ages and sexes are solitary or in groups of different composition or in various contexts related to exploration, predation risk, disturbance level, and presence of an unfamiliar conspecific.
		Many of the questions I hope to answer in my studies of amblypygid behavior toward kin and nonkin are also relevant for Delena and will yield information on similarities and differences in social dynamics between the two species.

		Amblypygids have been considered to be solitary and highly aggressive to conspecifics, not social.
		However, in captivity we have discovered that amblypygids from two families are subsocial, with complex communicative and social interactions that last until sexual maturity at 1-year of age.
		Immature amblypygids and their mothers form large interactive groups that are in constant tactile (whip) contact with one another.

		Of four pairs of legs, the last three pairs of an amblypygid are pretty ordinary and are much like spider legs.
		Near its mouth an amblypygid has one of the most remarkable prey-catching devices you can find in the animal world -- a pair of huge, hinged, spiny appendages that serve as a rapidly unfolding basket-trap.
		The extremely elongated and threadlike front pair of an amblypygid's eight legs serve not only as sensory organs stretching out in front when the creature moves along, they are also used in courtship greeting as a male gently taps his lady love while rocking his body back and forth in a kind of mating dance.

		The only notable invert was an Amblypygid, the first seen of the expedition, which was quite surprising.
		Ivor and Mark were down in quick time, also both having apparently enjoyed the ride, and after I pointed out the Amblypygid, and they looked around, we began the ascent.
		I took several pics of the Amblypygid, but the camera that we are using will not produce a decent photo at macro.

		Amblypygids are ideal organisms to use in explorations of sensory modalities other than vision since their major means of interacting is through modified antenniform legs, which are covered with sensory receptors for chemical, tactile, olfactory, and vibratory cues.
		Using this system to characterize male-male interactions and the use of non-visual signaling is possible through examination of highly ritualized displays and the escalation to battles, presumably for competition to female access, which means there is sexual selection acting upon male weaponry and signal use in intrasexual selection.
		The main objective of my research is to characterize these male-male interactions in the amblypygid Phrynus marginemaculatus.

		But the dorso-ventrally flattened amblypygids have enlarged palps that capture prey and the thin elongate first leg (or 'whip') is extremely flexible.
		Amblypygids lives are centered on the sensory information they acquire through their antenniform whips.
		When experimentally disturbed or moved into an unfamiliar environment, young amblypygids immediately aggregate with one another and move closer to their mother.

		Oyvind was up and about and appeared to be willing to honour the commitment that he had made the night before (whilst drunk).
		We made our way down to the colectivo point accompanied by Maru, who did a splendid job of sorting our transport to Tepetzala whilst defending us from a local chap who was insisting we had been worrying his cattle.
		I don't know whether it was the horrible looking insect that had shaken Oyvind's nerve, or whether, as he said, he didn't want to get his trousers wet, but he left us at the big puddle that marks the entrance of the system.
