“…fauna contain poisons acting on animal nervous system. Among them there are microorga nisms [66], fishes and marine animals [13,73], snakes [25,60,81], and many predatory arthropods [19,65,77,83,84,64,96]. These organisms use poisons to kill their victims.…”

“…The study of terrestrial arthropod toxins has started in the 1980th [30,31,77,91,92]. For today, some mechanisms of toxins action on the NS of invertebrates and vertebrates have been studied [28,77,83,84], and molecular structure of a number of toxins have been decoded [5,23]. Besides, their synthesis in laboratory conditions has been done [26,87].…”

“…The greatest significance as producers of biological toxins demonstrate three classes of the arthropods: polygons (Myriapoda), insects (Insecta) and Aranei (Arachnida) [77,96]. Among the most important toxins produced by Myriapoda, is genus Scolo pendra [96].…”

“…Synthetic Araneidae toxins can be used in medicine and pharmacology as medical preparations, as well as pesticides in agriculture. A particular advantage of such pesticides is that the mechanism of pests populations regulating is close to natural [28,62,77].…”

Klyuchko O.M. Investigation of chemical substances of terrestrial arthropods. Studia Biolo gica, 2019: 13(1); 129-144 • DOI: https://doi.org/10. 30970/sbi.1301.594 Millions of Arthropods are inhabitants of the Earth and some biochemical products which they produce are valuable for human practice. The aim of this work was to summarize current information about chemical substances produced by Arthropods such as venoms, toxins and some other chemical compounds that may be used in practice. Today such products are obtained and purified using standard biochemical methods. In this article, the information about species of the terrestrial Arthropods -producers of substances acting on the nervous system and used in electrophysiological investigations is presented. Some versions of arthropods' toxins classification and the table with Araneids toxins and effects they occur are suggested as well. Main attention was paid to some Araneidae venoms and toxins that block synaptic transmission in glutamatergic synapses. A review of chemical composition and some biophysical properties of such venoms and toxins was suggested and their chemical structures namely of toxins from spiders of Nephila family and toxins from A. lobata venom were described. Some biophysical properties of Araneidae venoms and toxins are characterized. Other components of Arthropods' venoms were also observed. Contemporary applications of such chemical compounds in agriculture and in the environmental monitoring systems were considered as well. The obtained results evidence that the terrestrial Arthropods is a valuable source of chemical compounds for biophysical laboratories and their great potential has to attract more attention of investigators.

RESUMEN: En esta contribución analizamos conjuntos arqueofaunísticos procedentes de depósitos inferidos como enterramientos intencionales de objetos (en pozos y como acumulaciones). Éstos corresponden a eventos ocurridos en torno a un recinto central del sitio residencial agropastoril Punta de la Peña 9, en Antofagasta de la Sierra, (provincia de Catamarca), Puna meridional argentina, durante el segundo milenio AP (ca. 1516-929 años cal. AP). Realizamos una caracterización de la fauna de vertebrados e invertebrados desde un punto de vista anatómico, taxonómico y tafonómico. El análisis de estos elementos, las recurrencias y ausencias e indicadores de estacionalidad, sumados a la presencia de otros objetos incluidos en los depósitos, su estructuración y cronología relativa a la historia de uso del recinto, son interpretados a la luz de prácticas y relatos tradicionales de los Andes Centro Sur. Esto nos permite postular la ocurrencia de eventos fundacionales y de instancias de propiciación referidas a la estación seca dentro de los ciclos agropastoriles centro-surandinos.
