Life cycle of Poratia salvator (Diplopoda: Polydesmida: Pyrgodesmidae)

open access: yesZoologia (Curitiba), 2009
Even though millipedes display high plasticity in their reproductive strategies, they are poorly studied in the tropical region. The present study describes the biological cycle and reports the parthenogenetic reproduction of Poratia salvator Golovatch &

Comparative water relations of some tropical millipedes [PDF]

open access: yesKragujevac Journal of Science, 2014
Water content, percentage of total body water lost as a function of time, and cuticular permeability are determined for 10 species of millipedes representing three orders (Polydesmida, Spirobolida and Spirostreptida).

Bristly millipedes (Polyxenida) in Deep-Time Highlight Their Conserved Life Habits for 100 Million Years

open access: yesArthropoda
Pincushion millipedes or bristly millipedes (Polyxenida) are common and widespread around the world, yet we still lack a proper understanding of the life of these elusive animals.

A revision and phylogenetic analysis of the millipede genus Oxidus Cook, 1911 (Polydesmida, Paradoxosomatidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Taxonomy, 2017
The genus Oxidus Cook, 1911 is revised to contain five species, O. avia (Verhoeff, 1937), O. gigas (Attems, 1953), O. gracilis (C.L. Koch, 1847), O. riukiaria (Verhoeff, 1940), and “species inquirenda” O. obtusus (Takakuwa, 1942). A cosmopolitan species,

Sex ratios, mating frequencies and relative abundance of sympatric millipedes in the genus Chersastus (Diplopoda: Pachybolidae) [PDF]

open access: yesArthropods, 2014
Three hypotheses exist for explaining climbing behavior in millipedes: 1) waterlogging, 2) detritus limiting, and 3) mate avoidance. Data of sex ratios, mating frequency and relative abundance are provided to suggest an alternative explanation for the ...

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

open access: yesPLoS 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.
