First description of a male Melaphe apamea Hoffman & Lohmander, 1968 from Turkey (Diplopoda, Polydesmida, Xystodesmidae) [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal
The male of Melaphe apamea Hoffman & Lohmander, 1968 is described and illustrated for the first time, based on a single specimen collected by a Hungarian expedition to Turkey in 1980.The specimen is kept in the Myriapoda Collection of the ...

Centrobolus size dimorphism breaks Rensch’s rule [PDF]

Arthropods, 2018
This present research aims to study the relative sexual size dimorphism of Centrobolus (Cook) in 18 congenerics. Millipedes illustrated reversed sexual size dimorphism (SSD) where females were larger than males; and broke Rensch's rule as this dimorphism

Early Detection of Cell Death Using Transmembrane Water Exchange Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cell death is important in both the development and treatment of cancer. In this study, it is demonstrated for the first time that a specific measurement of the transmembrane water exchange rate using magnetic resonance imaging can be used as an early marker of cell death in mammalian cells, in animals and in human patients. Abstract Cell death plays a

Toxic associations: A review of the predatory behaviors of millipede assassin bugs (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Ectrichodiinae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2012
Ectrichodiinae (Hemiptera: Reduviidae), the millipede assassin bugs, are a speciose group (>660 species) of assassin bugs that appear to be specialist predators on Diplopoda, or millipedes.

Nanoparticles in microdroplets: Recent advances in microfluidic generators for producing functional microbeads

Droplet, EarlyView.
Functional hybrid microbeads with electrical, magnetic, and/or optical responsiveness have emerged as versatile platforms for biotechnology. This review highlights recent advances in microfluidic technologies for producing such microbeads, with a focus on incorporating functional nanoparticles in microdroplet systems.

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.

Anisotropic community turn‐over at habitat edges informs on assembly drivers: simulation and empirical test on soil macrofauna

Oikos, EarlyView.
Biodiversity dynamics in heterogeneous landscapes is the result of a complex interplay between movement processes of organisms within and between habitat patches, and niche filtering processes due to spatially varying environmental conditions. Disentangling the relative influences of these different processes on community assembly and dynamics is a ...

Unique Fine Morphology of Mouthparts in Haematoloecha nigrorufa (Stål) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) Adapted to Millipede Feeding

Insects, 2020
Millipede assassin bugs are a diverse group of specialized millipede predators. However, the feeding behavior of Ectrichodiinae remains poorly known, especially how the mouthpart structures relate to various functions in feeding.

Detector alignment for X‐ray crystallography using Millepede‐II

Journal of Applied Crystallography, EarlyView.
A computational method for refinement of multi‐panel detector geometry has been adapted from high‐energy physics to serial crystallography. The method is many times faster and much more accurate than previous approaches.I describe a method for accurately refining the geometrical parameters of segmented X‐ray area detectors on the basis of serial ...
