This project investigates how certain arthropods, specifically chelicerates, adapted from marine to terrestrial environments. By combining genomic and fossil data, it aims to uncover the evolutionary processes behind this transition, which can inform pest control strategies and drug development.
Animals have marine origins, with only three phyla including lineages that can complete every phase of their life cycle outside of water–saturated environments.
These phyla are the Vertebrata (reptiles, birds and mammals), the Mollusca (land snails and the slugs) and the Arthropoda (e.g. insects, spiders, centipedes).
The process through which animals adapted to life on land is referred to as terrestrialisation and it is one of the most fascinating unresolved problems in evolutionary biology.
