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

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 As important decomposers of soil organic matter, millipedes contribute to lignocellulose decomposition and nutrient cycling. The degradation of lignocellulose requires the action of several carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) and, in most invertebrates,

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 ...

An Updated Checklist and Perspective Study of Millipedes (Arthropoda: Myriapoda: Diplopoda) in the Korean Peninsula [PDF]
Animal Systematics, Evolution and Diversity, 2016 The Korean peninsula has diverse habitats and so would be expected to have a rich millipede fauna because of its location between the Paleoarctic and Oriental regions. To facilitate studies on millipedes, this work provides an updated list and discussion

Bioluminescent aposematism in millipedes [PDF]
Current Biology, 2011 SummaryBioluminescence — the ability of organisms to emit light — has evolved about 40–50 times independently across the tree of life [1]. Many different functions for bioluminescence have been proposed, for example, mate recognition, prey attraction, camouflage, and warning coloration. Millipedes in the genus Motyxia produce a greenish-blue light at a
