Myriapoda (Diplopoda, Chilopoda) of the Southern Cultures Park (Krasnodar Province, Southern Russia): unappreciated biodiversity

open access: yesActa Biologica Sibirica
The biodiversity of botanical gardens and arboreta is typically assessed by vegetation, birds, and insects such as beetles and butterflies. At the same time, most of the invertebrate animals live in litter and soil, while remaining hidden and poorly ...

The spiny trapdoor spider Blakistonia aurea (Mygalomorphae: Idiopidae) as a model to better understand the natural history of cryptic spiders

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract The diverse infraorder Mygalomorphae includes fossorial and cryptic spiders, such as tarantulas and trapdoor spiders. Their ability to disperse is often highly limited, rendering some mygalomorphs as rare short‐range endemics. These species are vulnerable to landscape changes, often hard to detect, and have poorly understood reproductive ...

Agricultural System Resilience of Industrial Hemp: An Exploratory Value Web Analysis in the Swabian Alb

open access: yesGCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study assessed the industrial hemp value web resilience in the Swabian Alb, Southern Germany, where regional implementation remains limited despite hemp's bioeconomy potential. Using an indicator framework and stakeholder interviews, the research found the small, fluctuating cultivation area (e.g., 25 ha in 2024) focuses on hemp seed valorisation;

The first Permian centipedes from Russia [PDF]

open access: yesActa Palaeontologica Polonica, 2018
While fossils of myriapods are well-known from the Devonian and Carboniferous, until recently sediments from the Permian have been largely devoid of the remains of this important group of terrestrial arthropods.

The development of insect diversity and ecosystem complexity on green roofs: A review

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 11-25, January 2026.
A classification system of different roof types is presented to improve consistency in green roof research. Landscape and green roof characteristics influence ecosystem development, but can be further explained by ecological concepts, like neutral and niche theory.

Phoretic relationships between Uropodina (Acari: Mesostigmata) and centipedes (Chilopoda) as an example of evolutionary adaptation of mites to temporary microhabitats

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2006
A survey of soil fauna in Poland revealed 30 cases of centipedes carrying mites of the sub-order Uropodina. The 155 phoretic deutonymphs collected belonged to two species of Uropodina - Oodinychus ovalis (C.L.

Exploring the phylogeny of the Leptanillinae (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) through high‐throughput sequencing and Bayesian total‐evidence inference, with accommodation of systematic bias

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
The phylogeny of the Leptanillinae is inferred under maximum‐likelihood, Bayesian and coalescent‐based approaches from a total of 25 UCE alignments curated to compensate for an array of systematic biases. All major clades within the Leptanillinae receive robust statistical support across the bulk of the 80 phylogenomic analyses, with exceptions ...

Characteristics of centipede (Chilopoda) assemblies in Dinaric frost hollows in Velika gora (Slovenia)

open access: yesActa Biologica Slovenica, 2014
Current study is preliminary research of centipedes (Chilopoda) assemblies in Slovenian frost hollows. With two sampling methods in three series (June, August and November) in year 2010, 834 individuals were caught and indentified to 30 species.

Metaphors and the Invention of Writing

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, Volume 18, Issue 1, Page 245-263, January 2026.
Abstract The foundation of ancient, invented writing systems lies in the predominant iconicity of their sign shapes. However, these shapes are often used not for their referential meaning but in a metaphorical way, whereby one entity stands for another.
