Disparity in the distribution of suitable habitat as a metric for capturing responses to contrasting land‐use types

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 6, September 2026.
Abstract Global species observations from community science platforms offer an unprecedented opportunity to analyze large‐scale patterns of biodiversity. This holds great promise for developing data‐driven metrics to measure species' responses to landscape‐level environmental changes, essential for ameliorating the ongoing biodiversity crisis.

Extending Without Extensors: Morphofunctional Insights and Qualitative Experiments on Myriapod Legs

Journal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 9, September 2026.
The distal joints of myriapods are hinge joints and therefore cannot be extended by intrinsic muscles. Using confocal laser scanning microscopy, µCT, semi‐thin sections, and experimental approaches, we investigated the morphology and extension mechanisms of myriapod legs.

Urbanization Effects on the Community Structure of Saproxylic Arthropods in Warm‐Temperate Japan

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.
This study examined saproxylic arthropod communities in various landscapes, ranging from large to fragmented urban forests, and compared the structure and composition of these communities. The results showed that communities could be classified into three types based on species composition and that arthropod community types were correlated with forest ...

Colonization of reclaimed post-mining habitats by Myriapoda (Diplopoda, Chilopoda) in southwestern Siberia, Russia

Acta Biologica Sibirica
Post-mining landscapes undergo profound ecological transformations, yet the recovery of soil fauna remains poorly understood. This study examines the colonization patterns of myriapods (Diplopoda and Chilopoda) on reclaimed coal mining dumps in ...

Beyond species diversity: Functional responses of cave arthropods to microclimatic stability and structural complexity

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 715-728, August 2026.
Species richness declined along cave microclimatic gradient, while diversity increased with habitat heterogeneity, highlighting distinct roles of abiotic conditions and structural complexity in shaping arthropod communities. Functional traits shifted along the microclimatic gradient, with larger‐bodied and more eye‐regressed arthropods dominating under

Untangling Colour Diversity: Ecogeographic Patterns in Two Scolopendra Species Revealed by Citizen Science

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Using citizen‐science records, we analysed ecogeographic patterns of colour polymorphism in two closely related centipede species across Japan. While two colour morphs in Scolopendra mutilans are broadly sympatric, they are geographically restricted in S. japonica despite overlapping climatic niches and biotic interactions.

Centipede (Chilopoda) richness and diversity in the Bug River valley (Eastern Poland)

ZooKeys, 2015
The main aim of the survey was to describe the diversity and richness of Chilopoda in the selected area of the Bug River valley. The study sites were located in two regions differing in the shape of the valley, the presence of thermophilous habitats and ...

Strip cropping in practice: Higher slug abundance despite a higher number of slug‐predating carabid species

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
To avoid increased slug damage in strip cropping fields in slug‐prone areas, potential slug‐source crops should be spatially separated from slug‐sensitive crops. However, an increase in slug abundance should not deter the adoption of strip cropping as higher slug damage in strip cropping systems was rarely observed by farmers.
