This monograph discusses the phylogeny and biogeography of harvestmen, a small group of animals that lived in what is now Europe more than 3,000 years ago and the role they played in the evolution of humankind.

Seven new occurrences were recorded for the state of São Paulo, increasing the range for T. andersoni and the relationships between parasitism and host sex, reproductive stage, age hyperparasitism by fungi are discussed.
Systematic review of the neotropical family stygnidae: (opiliones, laniatores, gonyleptoidea)
- R. Pinto‐da‐Rocha

- 23 May 1997
A new classification is herein proposed based on a cladistic analysis using 35 terminals and 50 characters of external morphology and male genitalia that forms the basis of the supraspecific classification of Stygnidae.

The traditional use of a small set of morphological characters in the systematics of Gonyleptidae is unable to explain the complex evolution of the family.
Systematic review and cladistic analysis of the Brazilian subfamily Caelopyginae (Opiliones: Gonyleptidae)

The Caelopyginae species occur in the Atlantic and Araucaria Forests, from the States of Bahia to Santa Catarina, and eight areas of endemism are proposed.

Current understanding regarding the processes of chromosome evolution that have occurred in Bothriuridae and in Scorpiones as a whole is elucidated.
FAUNISTIC SIMILARITY AND HISTORIC BIOGEOGRAPHY OF THE HARVESTMEN OF SOUTHERN AND SOUTHEASTERN ATLANTIC RAIN FOREST OF BRAZIL
- R. Pinto‐da‐Rocha, M. D. da Silva, C. Bragagnolo
- Environmental Science
- 1 August 2005
This biome shows the highest diversity of harvestmen inhabiting Brazil; 2/3 of the species are found in this area, and a high variation in richness was observed; 4–64 species per locality.
Complex meiotic configuration of the holocentric chromosomes: the intriguing case of the scorpion Tityus bahiensis
- M. C. Schneider, A. A. Zacaro, R. Pinto‐da‐Rocha, D. M. Cândido, D. Cella
- BiologyChromosome Research
- 4 September 2009
Female prophase I cells revealed multivalent chromosome associations and/or unsynapsed or distinctly associated chromosome regions (gaps, less-condensed chromatin, or loop-like structure) that were continuous with synapsed chromosome segments, and data permitted us to suggest that the chromosomal rearrangements of T. bahiensis occurred in a heterozygous state.
