Standardized Protocols for Soil Fauna Extraction and a Call for Cross‐Lab Implementation

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We present harmonized methodologies, assembled by an international group of experts, for extracting soil‐ and litter‐inhabiting nematodes, enchytraeids, microarthropods, and larger invertebrates. The protocols are illustrated with images and videos, and include advice for overcoming the most frequent issues (’expert tips’) for increasing extraction ...

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

Acta 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 ...

A Novel Light‐Induced Collective Circular Movement in Armadillo sordidus Isopods

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We describe an interesting aggregative behavior in terrestrial isopods. We conclude that this behavior is in response to intense artificial lighting. ABSTRACT Collective movement in terrestrial isopods has rarely been documented and almost never discussed.

Harvestmen (Arachnida: Opiliones) as Overlooked Predators of Anurans in the Neotropics

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study reports novel field observations of harvestmen (Opiliones: Cranaidae) preying on live frogs across multiple Neotropical localities, documenting active capture and consumption of anurans by these arachnids. Our findings expand the known trophic role of harvestmen as opportunistic vertebrate predators and highlight the need to consider ...

The first Permian centipedes from Russia [PDF]

Acta 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.

Automated Benchmarking of Variable‐Property Soft Robotic Fingertips to Enable Task‐Optimized Sensor Selection

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 15, 13 March 2026.
Sensorized fingertips are needed to unlock robotic dexterity, versatility, and diverse interactions. Here, 15 identically‐shaped robotic fingertips are benchmarked by a fully automated toolchange system, covering eight different materials and six broadly‐ranging sensing mechanisms.

Potential for the American toad (Anaxyrus americanus) to contribute to biological control in a vegetable agroecosystem

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract The American toad (Anaxyrus americanus) is a native insectivorous amphibian common in agricultural fields in eastern North America. Past research on this and related species suggests potential for positive or negative effects on pest populations, depending on the prevalence of intraguild predation.
