INTRODUCTIONThe spider Cupiennius salei is a useful laboratory model for embryological and physiological studies. Its highly developed sensory organs also make it an excellent model for behavioral studies. Furthermore, Cupiennius has contributed greatly to the study of evolutionary developmental questions. This chelicerate arthropod is particularly useful for such studies because of its phylogenetic position and the availability of tools to study and manipulate its embryonic development.
引言
蜘蛛Cupiennius salei是胚胎学和生理学研究的有用实验室模型。其高度发达的感觉器官也使其成为行为研究的优秀模型。此外,Cupiennius对进化发育问题的研究做出了巨大贡献。这种螯肢类节肢动物因其系统发育位置以及研究和操纵其胚胎发育的工具的可用性,在这类研究中特别有用。
