Just like a trilobite? An unusual arthropod eye design that maximises image resolution has inspired the design of the thinnest stills and video camera yet made. At just 1.4 millimetres thick, the ...

The species belongs to a group of arthropods nicknamed "sea moths" that use a flap-like apparatus similar to wings to help them swim, the authors said in a statement. The mechanism gives the ...

Researchers have wondered how an alligator-size arthropod lived more than 300 million years ago. The discovery of an intact Arthropleura head offers new insights.

In arthropods, evolution has created a remarkably sophisticated class of imaging systems, with a wide-angle field of view, low aberrations, high acuity to motion and an infinite depth of field. A ...

The polymer is then inflated, forming a hemispherical, bug eye shape. Voilà: An artificial, digital compound eye.

In phylogenetic, very primitive arthropods (e.g. Cindarella eucalla from the lower Cambrian of China) there are 4, modern animals, such as insects and crustaceans, have only 3.

Two newly discovered fossils are helping scientists wrap their heads around the anatomy of the largest arthropod of all time — a millipede that grew longer than a king-sized bed and lived ...
