Nobuo Tsurusaki, Hana Svojanovská, Axel Schöenhofer and František Šťáhlavský
In this site, there is a compilation of all cytogenetic data published on harvestmen (Opiliones), considering only papers published in scientific journals and not abstracts presented on scientific meetings, thesis or other materials of restrict access.
The site will be revised every 6 months (January and July) to add new chromosomal data available on literature and changes in harvestmen taxonomy.
