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

10 Chilopoda – Endocrine system

2011
Studies on structure and function of the endocrine system, and the hormonal control on moulting and gametogenesis, are essentially limited to anamorphic and adult stages of Lithobius forficatus . The moulting cycle of adult L. forficatus is divided into three phases: a post-ecdysial period (about 10 d), an intermolt period (about 20 d) and a pre ...

7 Chilopoda – Tracheal system

2011
Centipedes are terrestrial, tracheate arthropods. Spiracles occur on many or most trunk segments, but never on the forcipular segment or the last leg-bearing segment and genital segments. The size of the spiracles increases up to the fourth long tergite covering leg-bearing segments 7-9, to decrease thereafter.

11 Chilopoda – Nervous system

2011
The nervous system of chilopods is divided into the central nervous system, composed of the brain and ventral nerve cord, and the peripheral nervous system with its projecting nerves. The central nervous system (brain or syncerebrum) is divided into the proto-, deuto-, and tritocerebrum.
