Legged Locomotion in Lattices: Centipede Traversal of Obstacle-Rich Environments. [PDF]

Ann N Y Acad Sci
We investigated how centipedes adapted their limb stepping and body bending patterns in a dense array of rigid obstacles (vertical posts). Centipedes maintained a rapid speed in the obstacle array by adapting their gaits in several ways, including adducing their limbs along their bodies to mitigate collisions, twisting their bodies into more favorable ...

Drivers of Centipede and Spider Diversity and Biomass Along an Elevation Gradient on Changbai Mountain, China. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Changes in density, diversity, and biomass with elevation differ between centipedes and spiders. Compared to centipedes, spiders are more strongly affected by environmental changes. Climatic variables act as the main drivers of centipede and spider density, diversity, and biomass, with local habitat–related factors being of secondary importance ...
