14 Chilopoda – Development

2011
This chapter presents a short account mainly based on the current work where descriptive embryology is integrated with the study of the expression patterns of " developmental genes" . Data on gene expression during embryonic development are essentially limited to three centipedes: Lithobius atkinson , Lithobius forficatus and Strigamia maritima ...

An annotated checklist of centipedes (Chilopoda) of Vietnam

Zootaxa, 2013
The centipede fauna of Vietnam is reviewed from the literature. A total of 71 species in 26 genera, 13 families in four orders, Scolopendromorpha, Geophilomorpha, Lithobiomorpha and Scutigeromorpha, has been recorded from Vietnam. Four genera, Tonkinodentus, Alluropus, Anopsobiella and Megalacrus, are monotypic; and twenty-two species and subspecies ...

The Chilopoda and Diplopoda of Iceland

Insect Systematics & Evolution, 1970
AbstractFive species of myriapods have previously been recorded from Iceland. To these are here added: Brachygeophilus truncorum (Bergsö & Meinert), Brachydesmus superus Latzel and Polydesmus coriaceus Porst. A further dubious diplopod from Skaftafell is commented upon.

Evolutionary Biology of Centipedes (Myriapoda: Chilopoda)

Annual Review of Entomology, 2007
New insights into the anatomy, systematics, and biogeography of centipedes have put these predatory terrestrial arthropods at the forefront of evolutionary studies. Centipedes have also played a pivotal role in understanding high-level arthropod relationships.

Studies on the cardiac physiology of Onychophora and Chilopoda

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Molecular & Integrative Physiology, 2002
Cardiac physiology in Onychophora and Chilopoda has not yet been studied by electrophysiological methods. Here we present ECGs and the first intracellular recordings from dorsal vessel muscle cells in Scolopendra cingulata, Lithobius forficatus and Peripatopsis sp. In Onychophora, a myogenic automatism generates the heart function.

13 Chilopoda – Reproduction

2011
Centipedes are gonochoric, like the vast majority of arthropods. In mature animals, sexes are easily distinguished on external characters in all major centipede groups to the exception of the Scolopendromorpha, where the widespread absence of secondary sexual characters adds to the general absence of externally visible genital appendages.

An outline of the geographical distribution of world Chilopoda

2009
We present here an updated outline of the large-scale faunistic diversity of Chilopoda, based on all published information on the geographical occurrence of species by countries, which has been made available in the electronic on-line catalogue Chilo- Base.

17 Chilopoda – Phylogeny

2011
This chapter is principally concerned with the interrelationships between the five extant orders of Chilopoda. A brief mention is made here of recent studies that have focused on the deep relationships within the four large orders: Scutigeromorpha, Lithobiomorpha, Scolopendromorpha, and Geophilomorpha. Chilopod phylogenetics is in a relatively advanced

15 Chilopoda – Ecology

2011
Basically all chilopods are predatory soil inhabitants that avoid light and show distinct preference for moist microhabitats. Their habit is generally cryptozoic, as they spend the day under stones, bark and leaf litter or inside the soil and go out for hunting during the night. Ecological preferences and adaptations to special habitats are mirrored by
