A synopsis of centipedes in Brazilian caves: hidden species diversity that needs conservation (Myriapoda, Chilopoda)

ZooKeys, 2018
This study revises centipede fauna found in Brazilian caves, focusing on troglomorphic taxa and emphasizing conservation status. We present 563 centipede specimens from 274 caves across eleven Brazilian states.

Exploring the phylogeny of the Leptanillinae (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) through high‐throughput sequencing and Bayesian total‐evidence inference, with accommodation of systematic bias

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
The phylogeny of the Leptanillinae is inferred under maximum‐likelihood, Bayesian and coalescent‐based approaches from a total of 25 UCE alignments curated to compensate for an array of systematic biases. All major clades within the Leptanillinae receive robust statistical support across the bulk of the 80 phylogenomic analyses, with exceptions ...

Discovery of a second geophilomorph species (Myriapoda: Chilopoda) having twenty-seven leg-bearing segments, the lowest number recorded up to the present in the centipede order Geophilomorpha

Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2013
Schendylops ramirezi sp. nov. (Myriapoda: Chilopoda), a tiny schendylid centipede (from Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil), is hereby described and illustrated based on the female holotype, male and female paratypes, and additional non-type specimens.

A new euarthropod from the Soom Shale (Ordovician) Konservat‐Lagerstätte, South Africa, with exceptional preservation of the connective endoskeleton and myoanatomy

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 11, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
Abstract A new exceptionally preserved euarthropod, Keurbos susanae gen. et sp. nov. from the Upper Ordovician Soom Shale Konservat‐Lagerstätte of South Africa, is described herein. Two specimens exhibit an unusual preservation style such that the cuticular exoskeleton is preserved in low relief but retains high‐fidelity details, whereas the internal ...

Canadian goldenrod (Solidago canadensis) invasion affects millipedes and symphylans more than centipedes in an urban meadow

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 2, Page 260-274, March 2025.
Canadian goldenrod (Solidago canadensis) invasion had taxon‐dependent effects on myriapods (Arthropoda: Myriapoda) in a protected urban meadow in Budapest, Hungary. Primary consumers such as millipedes and symphylans seemed to be more affected by the invasion than predators. Centipede assemblages were only affected by soil moisture and not by invasion.

First record of Amphoromorpha/ Basidiobolus fungus on centipedes (Geophilomorpha, Geophilidae) from Brazilian caves [PDF]

Subterranean Biology, 2019
We identified Basidiobolus fungi on geophilomorphan centipedes (Chilopoda) from caves of Southeast Brazil. Twelve specimens of centipedes of the family Geophilidae were examined, and two of them carried the secondary capilliconidia of Basidiobolus on ...

The moulting arthropod: a complete genetic toolkit review

Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 6, Page 2338-2375, December 2024.
ABSTRACT Exoskeletons are a defining character of all arthropods that provide physical support for their segmented bodies and appendages as well as protection from the environment and predation. This ubiquitous yet evolutionarily variable feature has been instrumental in facilitating the adoption of a variety of lifestyles and the exploitation of ...

New species of Tygarrup centipedes from Xizang, China (Geophilomorpha, Mecistocephalidae) [PDF]

Zoosystematics and Evolution
Prior to this study, the genus Tygarrup Chamberlin, 1914, is known to contain only two species in Xizang, China. New records derived from multiple collections allow for the distribution ranges of six species to be refined: Tygarrup tridentatus Jiang &
