Abstract
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.
