Distribution of millipedes (Myriapoda, Diplopoda) along a forest interior – forest edge – grassland habitat complex [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2015 We studied the distribution of millipedes in a forest interior-forest edge-grassland habitat complex in the Hajdúság Landscape Protection Area (NE Hungary).

Leg-body coordination strategies for obstacle avoidance and narrow space navigation of multi-segmented, legged robots [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurorobotics, 2023 IntroductionMillipedes can avoid obstacle while navigating complex environments with their multi-segmented body. Biological evidence indicates that when the millipede navigates around an obstacle, it first bends the anterior segments of its corresponding

Millipede genomes reveal unique adaptations during myriapod evolution
PLoS Biology, 2020 The Myriapoda, composed of millipedes and centipedes, is a fascinating but poorly understood branch of life, including species with a highly unusual body plan and a range of unique adaptations to their environment.

Ordinal-level phylogenomics of the arthropod class Diplopoda (millipedes) based on an analysis of 221 nuclear protein-coding loci generated using next-generation sequence analyses. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 BackgroundThe ancient and diverse, yet understudied arthropod class Diplopoda, the millipedes, has a muddled taxonomic history. Despite having a cosmopolitan distribution and a number of unique and interesting characteristics, the group has received ...

Filling gaps in the diversity and biogeography of Chilean millipedes (Myriapoda: Diplopoda) [PDF]
Arthropod Systematics & Phylogeny, 2022 Research on the diversity and biogeography of Chilean millipedes represents a significant gap in knowledge. To reduce this gap we conducted a study: (1) to investigate the current state of knowledge of millipede diversity, and (2) to assess the pattern ...
