| | Sea spider - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Their reduced body size is in contrast to large, long legs, which may be present in four or more pairs. | | | While sharing many morphological features with the other chelicerates, major differences (such as their unique proboscis) have caused many taxonomists to remove sea spiders from this grouping, and some consider them to form their own subphylum. | | | The most recent research seems to indicate that waste leaves the body through the digestive tract or is lost during a molt. |

| | BBC NEWS Science/Nature Early sea spider flashes pincers |
| | This study supported a more distant relationship between pycnogonids and chelicerates. | | | One theory had proposed that the pycnogonids (the technical name for the sea spiders) were only distantly related to the chelicerates - the biological grouping which includes true spiders, scorpions and horseshoe crabs. | | | This, they claim, suggests the pycnogonids are full members of that group. |

| | sea spider or Pycnogonids |
| | Like their land-lubber cousins, sea spiders are carnivorous, some feeding on other invertebrates by sucking out the juices, while others tear their prey apart and pass it into a proboscis for feeding. | | | Deep-sea researcher Dr. Paul H. Yancey notes large sea spiders are known to "stride over the abyssal mud with their long legs, using a proboscis to suck tissues from sessile prey..." and has photos of two such specimens on his deep sea pages web site. | | | Besides living underwater, sea spiders differ from their land cousins in other ways-- they don't spin webs, and may have from four to six pairs of long segmented legs, versus four pair for land spiders. |

| | Ancient Sea Spider Fossils Discovered In Volcanic Ash |
| | For two-centuries there has been a controversy about the relationship of sea spiders to land spiders, scorpions, ticks and mites because of their unique body form. | | | The fossil record of their relationship is sparse because of their delicate nature. | | | Sea spiders are soft-bodied arthropods, found widely in modern oceans. |

| | Deep-sea giant sea spider |
| | These animals make up for the small size of their bodies by accomodating vital organs such as gonads in their long legs. | | | They feed upon corals and other sessile organisms, sucking up their contents through their enormous proboscis. | | | A giant deep-sea spider, nearly a foot across, is an impressive sight indeed. |

| | The ancient sea spider's prominent pincers show that today's sea spiders are properly grouped with chelicerates, which include the true spiders (arachnids) as well as scorpions and horseshoe crabs. | | | A British sea spider fossil from 425 million years ago has also helped its modern-day descendants claim their rightful place on the tree of life. | | | This question had been difficult to answer before now because, despite their abundance, the delicate form of sea spiders means that they do not fossilize easily, explain the scientists from Oxford, Leicester, Yale in the 21 October 2004 Issue of Nature. |

| | Anoplodactylus Laboratory Exercise |
| | Sea spiders are gonochoric, fertilization is external, and there is a slight tendency to sexual dimorphism. | | | Pycnogonids (= Pantopoda), or sea spiders, are benthic, marine arthropods, with a superficial resemblance to true spiders, but to which they are probably only distantly related. | | | Chelicerata is a large taxon that includes spiders, scorpions, pseudoscorpions, ticks, mites, horseshoe crabs, sea spiders, and many others. |
