De novo metatranscriptomic exploration of gene function in the millipede holobiont

Scientific Reports, 2022
Invertebrate–microbial associations are widespread in the biosphere and are often related to the function of novel genes, fitness advantages, and even speciation events.

Diversity, distribution, and conservation of millipedes (Myriapoda: Diplopoda) in the Douala-Edéa National Park, Littoral Region of Cameroon

Soil Organisms, 2023
Biodiversity inventories are essential for the management and monitoring of ecosystems, especially in protected tropical areas. In the Afrotropical region, biodiversity conservation initiatives are primarily focused on charismatic vertebrates, while ...

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]

, 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 ...

New species of Boreohesperus (Diplopoda, Polydesmida, Paradoxosomatidae) from north-western Australia

European Journal of Taxonomy, 2017
To date, six species of the Australian endemic millipede genus Boreohesperus have been recognized: all have highly localized distributions, consistent with being short-range endemic species, and all are from the Cape Range and Pilbara region of Western ...

Initial defensive secretory compounds emitted from the live millipede and the induction of apoptotic cell death

Scientific Reports, 2021
The initial defensive secretory compounds emitted from a live millipede have not yet been clarified. This study focused on elucidating the initial secretory compounds emitted from a live millipede.

Methane production and methanogenic Archaea in the digestive tracts of millipedes (Diplopoda). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Methane production by intestinal methanogenic Archaea and their community structure were compared among phylogenetic lineages of millipedes. Tropical and temperate millipedes of 35 species and 17 families were investigated.

Investigation of Current and Super‐Bore 088″ Treatment Strategies of Soft and Stiff Clots at Internal Carotid Artery and Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion Sites in an In Vitro Thrombectomy Model

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, 2022
Background Various mechanical thrombectomy devices including stent retrievers (STRs), contact aspiration (CA) catheters, and balloon guide catheters (BGCs) are used in both isolation and combination for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke.

A new species of Illacme from southern California (Siphonophorida, Siphonorhinidae) [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2023
The millipede fauna inhabiting deep soil are poorly known. They are small and threadlike, slow moving, lacking pigmentation, and rarely encountered due to their obscure underground way of life. One family, the Siphonorhinidae, encompasses four genera and

Centrobolus lawrencei (Schubart, 1966) monomorphism [PDF]

Arthropods, 2018
The present research aimed to study relative sexual size dimorphism of Centrobolus lawrencei compared to congenerics. Millipedes illustrated reversed sexual size dimorphism (SSD) as females were larger than males and broke the rule as this dimorphism ...

The first true millipede—1306 legs long

Scientific Reports, 2021
The name “millipede” translates to a thousand feet (from mille “thousand” and pes “foot”). However, no millipede has ever been described with more than 750 legs.
