Revealing patterns of endemism in the transatlantic family Chelodesmidae (Polydesmida: Diplopoda). [PDF]
Abstract With fossil records dating back to the Silurian/Late Ordovician, millipedes stand out as one of the earliest terrestrial animal groups. Their limited vagility and high endemism make them valuable tools for formulating and testing biogeographic hypotheses, including those related to macro‐vicariance events.
