The complete mitochondrial genome of Thereuopoda clunifera (Chilopoda: Scutigeridae) and phylogenetic implications within Chilopoda

Zootaxa, 2022
We determined the complete mitochondrial genome of Thereuopoda clunifera (Chilopoda: Scutigeridae) to clarify the phylogenetic status within Chilopoda. Using Sanger sequencing and next-generation sequencing technologies, the entire mitogenome of T. clunifera was assembled and annotated, with 14,898 bp in length and 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes, 22

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 ...

8 Chilopoda – Circulatory system

2011
The tracheal and circulatory systems are well developed in centipedes. These differ in this respect from hexapods, which possess a well developed tracheal system but a rather reduced circulatory system. The tubular heart, the most important pumping organ, runs the entire length of the trunk.

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

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.

12 Chilopoda – Sense organs

2011
The triangular compound eye of adult Scutigera coleoptrata usually contains about 150 ommatidia. Pentagonally shaped facets are found at the margins of the eye. The lateral ocelli in the Pleurostigmophora are located on the frontolateral margins of the head capsule, directly behind the antennae. Epidermal sensilla are sensory setae, consisting of two

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.

16 Chilopoda – Geographical distribution

2011
Chilopoda have an almost worldwide distribution, inhabiting most continents, major islands and oceanic islands. Scutigeromorpha are present in all continental lands with the exception of the northernmost areas, also in major islands and many oceanic islands.

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
