Global Changes in Lepidopteran Phylogenetic Diversity Across Space and Time
Amidst increasing reports of insect declines, it is ever more important to understand spatial and temporal insect diversity patterns and processes. In this study, we repurposed the wealth of sequence data initially used for species identification, to detect global changes in the phylogenetic diversity (PD) of Lepidopteran communities over recent ...

HABITAT PREFERENCE OF CHILOPODA AND DIPLOPODA OF THE FAUNA OF THE CENTRAL CISCAUCASIA
Central Ciscaucasia is experiencing significant anthropogenic loads from the XIX century. About 90% of the territory of the Stavropol Territory is used for agricultural needs, which has a significant impact on the inhabitants of the soil.

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Bottom‐up effects play a critical role in shaping community structure and trophic interactions within detritus‐based food webs. Coarse deadwood supports high biodiversity and contributes to detrital food webs during its decomposition process.

Data concerning the Oniscidea and the Diplopoda from the Vârghişului Gorge complex reserve
In an attempt to continue and expand the investigations made by Professors T. Orghidan and Margareta Dumitrescu, we record now the presence of 12 species of Oniscidea and 13 species of Diplopoda in the karstic complex of the Vârghişului ...

Arthropod Phylogenetics in Light of Three Novel Millipede (Myriapoda: Diplopoda) Mitochondrial Genomes with Comments on the Appropriateness of Mitochondrial Genome Sequence Data for Inferring Deep Level Relationships [PDF]
Background Arthropods are the most diverse group of eukaryotic organisms, but their phylogenetic relationships are poorly understood. Herein, we describe three mitochondrial genomes representing orders of millipedes for which complete genomes had not ...

Southeast Asia’s karst landscapes host a remarkable yet understudied diversity of cave‐dwelling fauna, where morphological conservatism often masks true species boundaries. Using an integrative taxonomic framework, we investigated the systematics of the millipede family Cambalopsidae Cook, 1895 inhabiting caves across Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, and ...
