First Taxonomically Curated DNA Barcode Reference Library for Polish Myriapods Fills an Important Knowledge Gap for Soil Invertebrates in Central Europe, Part I: Millipedes (Myriapoda: Diplopoda). [PDF]
Ecol EvolDNA barcoding enabled the creation of the first large, taxonomically verified barcode library for Polish millipedes, covering 981 individuals and 58 species (62% of the national fauna), with 468 COI sequences. The study reveals potential cryptic diversity, shifts in the Polish diplopod fauna and documents Melogona broelemanni as a species newly ...

Extending Without Extensors: Morphofunctional Insights and Qualitative Experiments on Myriapod Legs. [PDF]
J MorpholThe 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.

Influence of Deadwood, Tree-Related Microhabitats, and Forest Structural Features on Saproxylic Arthropod Diversity. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe used environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding across 135 temperate forest plots in Germany to examine how deadwood, tree‐related microhabitats (TreMs), and forest structure shape saproxylic arthropod communities. Structural equation modeling revealed that TreM richness and deadwood volume are key predictors of arthropod diversity, highlighting the ...

Year-round correlation between mass and copulation duration in forest millipedes [PDF]
Arthropods, 2020 Correlates of diplopod size include diet, copulation duration, energy expense of copulation, oxygen consumption, precipitation, sex and temperature. Sexual Size Dimorphism (SSD) in the diplopod genus Centrobolus has a positive correlation with body size ...
