Life cycle of Poratia salvator (Diplopoda: Polydesmida: Pyrgodesmidae)
Zoologia (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]
Kragujevac 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).

Magneto‐responsive fibers and fabrics for soft systems
FlexMat, EarlyView.Abstract The combination of functional materials in fiber form has led to a surge in the integration of functional fibers and fabrics into soft systems that span sensing, communication, and actuation domains. A key subset is magnetic fibers and fabrics.

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Soil food web models are essential for linking animal diversity to carbon and nutrient cycling. However, it is unclear how soil animals regulate excess carbon when nutrient availability limits their growth and how to best represent animal respiration in these models. To

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.
