| Scytodaes thoracica, also called spitting spiders, is a type of hunting spiders with globally distributions. One of the most fascinating characters of the spitting spider’s hunting behavior is that when it get close enough to the potential prey, it will raise its fangs and then eject a sticky concoction of liquid silk, which will congeal upon contact and immobilize the prey. Then, the hunting ... more |

| Mitochondria are critical organelles in almost all eukaryotic cells in generating most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell's biochemical reactions. Mitochondria contain their own genomic sequences, mitogenomes, which are being widely used in species identification, phylogenetic, population genetics, and comparative genomics. However, largely are still unclear regarding to the struct... more |
