Checklist of the Millipedes (Diplopoda) of Tanzania
Journal of East African Natural History, 2016 A checklist of millipedes (Diplopoda) known to occur in Tanzania is given. Based on all available literature and abundant hitherto unpublished material, 296 species of millipedes are recorded, including seven species never before recorded from the country, viz., Helicochetus digititarsus Kraus, 1957, Helicochetus gregorii (Pocock, 1896), Geotypodon ...

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.This review discusses bacteriophages' roles in soil ecosystems, highlighting their impact on nutrient cycling, plant health, and soil remediation, as well as animal‐mediated phage dispersal mechanisms. Overall, while bacteriophages have potential biotechnological applications, their negative effects on microbial functions and nutrient cycling highlight

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.Moderate manual thinning (50F) maintained arthropod diversity comparable to untreated controls while reducing shrub dominance, demonstrating that structural heterogeneity buffers biodiversity loss during rangeland restoration in Namibian bush‐encroached systems. These findings advocate mosaic debushing strategies that preserve vegetation complexity and

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 5, Page 562-572, June 2026.ABSTRACT Many species of Mesostigmata soil mites have potential as biological control agents of pests/parasites. This study evaluated the predation potential of two of these species, Gamasellodes lavafesii (Ascidae) and Cosmolaelaps mediocuspis (Laelapidae).

Spider Mites: Genetic Models to Inform Herbivore and Chelicerate Biology
BioEssays, Volume 48, Issue 5, May 2026.Chelicerates include spiders, scorpions and ticks, and also spider mites that damage crops. Many of the features that make spider mites crop pests have facilitated their adoption as genetically tractable chelicerates. The expanding genetic toolkit developed using spider mites has potential to inform genetic studies in other chelicerates as well ...

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2018 The mitogenome of Sellanucheza jaegeri was 15,623 bp long, revealed the same gene order to that of typical Polydesmida. Both the tRNASer(AGN) and tRNASer(UCN) lacked the DHU arms. No tandem repeat was found in two control regions.
