Members of the phylum Arthropoda, that includes insects, ticks and other invertebrates with exoskeletons and jointed legs
A member of the animal phylum Arthropoda, which includes the insects, crustaceans (e g crabs, shrimps, barnacles), spiders, scorpions, mites, millipedes and centipedes
Any member of the largest phylum, Arthropoda, in the animal kingdom. Arthropoda consists of more than one million known invertebrate species in four subphyla: Uniramia (five classes, including insects), Chelicerata (three classes, including arachnids and horseshoe crabs), Crustacea (crustaceans), and Trilobita (trilobites). All arthropods are bilaterally symmetrical and possess a segmented body covered by an exoskeleton containing chitin, which serves as both armour and a surface for muscle attachment. Each body segment may bear a pair of jointed appendages. The phylum includes carnivores, herbivores, omnivores, detritus feeders, filter feeders, and parasites (see parasitism) in nearly all environments, both aquatic and terrestrial
A highly diverse group of INVERTEBRATE animals all with jointed limbs It includes insects (e g butterflies), crustaceans (e g crabs) and arachnids (e g spiders)
Includes arachnids (spiders, mites) insects (bee, ant, moth) and crustaceans (shrimp, crab), as a group under Phylum Arthropoda, all invertebrates (no vertebral column), having segmented bodies and hollow, jointed legs [3: Introduction to arthropods ]
Any invertebrate possessing jointed limbs and a segmented exoskeleton Belonging to the phylum Arthropoda, the group includes crustaceans, arachnids (e g : spiders, scorpions and mites), myriapods (e g : millipedes and centipedes) and insects
An arthropod is any segmented invertebrate of the phylum Arthropoda, having joined legs and including the insects, arachnids (spiders), crustaceans, and myriapods
Any one of a group of solitary marine, freshwater, and aerial invertebrates belonging to the phylum Arthropoda, characterized chiefly by jointed appendages and segmented bodies Among the typical arthropods are trilobites, crustaceans, chelicerates, and myriapods Range, Lower Cambrian to present
