Global Changes in Lepidopteran Phylogenetic Diversity Across Space and Time

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
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

open access: yesНаука. Инновации. Технологии, 2022
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.

Plant functional traits affect invertebrate predator diversity via bottom‐up effects in a deadwood‐based food web

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 128-139, January 2026.
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.

Alone no more—Integrative taxonomy of New Zealand odd‐clawed spiders challenges the monotypy of Pianoa and Gradungula (Araneae: Gradungulidae)

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
Taxonomic revision of New Zealand Gradungulidae reveals unexpected northern South Island diversity through integrated molecular phylogenetics and targeted field sampling. Two new species formally described — Gradungula kahurangi sp. nov. and Pianoa civis sp. nov. — with revised male genitalia diagnoses for all three New Zealand genera.

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]

open access: yes, 2013
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 ...

Hidden Diversity of Cave Millipedes From Mainland Southeast Asia Revealed by Species Delimitation and Phylogenetic Analysis, With a Description of a New Genus (Spirostreptida: Cambalopsidae)

open access: yesJournal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
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 ...
