So, latching onto carbon-rich chitin particles from arthropod exoskeletons and using them as a back-up source of food and shelter may have been what set them on the path to taking over the oceans.

The global exoskeleton market size was valued at USD 457.11 million in 2024 and is projected to reach from USD 534.37 million in 2025 to USD 1863.61 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 16.9% ...

A mantis shrimp's punch creates high-energy waves. Its exoskeleton is designed to absorb that energy, preventing cracking and tissue damage.

Researchers always knew that it was an arthropod—an incredibly diverse group of invertebrate animals with jointed limbs and a hard shell known as an exoskeleton, which includes arachnids ...

520-million-year-old larva fossil reveals the origins of arthropods Early arthropod development illuminated by a microscopic fossil.

Arthropods have an exoskeleton made of a tough material called chitin that is mineralized with calcium carbonate, as well as a body divided into segments and paired jointed appendages.

Sensory features on the armored exoskeletons of ancient fish may be the reason why humans have teeth that are sensitive to cold and other extremes.

Chitin is the main component of the arthropod’s exoskeleton, the first rigid form to evolve in multicellular organisms: arthropods made chitin as early as 550 million years ago. Secreted by the ...
