Multi‐angle, cross‐domain fusion strategy enhances automated insect identification and hierarchical categorization: a case study on assassin bugs (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)

Cladistics, Volume 42, Issue 4, Page 358-373, August 2026.
Abstract Automated insect identification systems hold significant value for biodiversity monitoring, pest management, citizen science initiatives and systematic studies, particularly in an era of declining expertise in insect taxonomy. However, current deep learning approaches often rely on standardized specimen photos from limited‐angles and ...

Orthoporus fuscipes (PORAT, 1888) (Juliformia; Spirostreptidae): population structure and defensive secretion chemical analysis [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
Diplopods are terrestrial arthropods important for the dynamics of terrestrial ecosystems. One of the reasons for that can be their low predation rate due to their defensive secretion.

Temperate Forest Floors: Ecosystem Hubs in Transition?

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
The forest floor (FF) is a key component of carbon, nutrient, and water cycling and represents the most biologically active part of forest soils. Despite its importance, its response to environmental change and forest management remains insufficiently studied.

Xylophagous millipede surface area to volume ratios are size dependent in forests [PDF]

Arthropods, 2019
A consistent effect of increasing precipitation (and resource abundance) on body size reductions is known as a water conservation hypothesis. Here a water conservation hypothesis was investigated in millipedes and a comparison made between high long-term

Here Comes the Heat: Urban Warming Increases Abundance but Compromises Fitness in the Common Woodlouse

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Urbanisation and urban heat frequently co‐occur, and climate change is expected to amplify these effects, yet their consequences for population dynamics and life‐history traits remain unclear. Using the common woodlouse Armadillidium vulgare, a widespread decomposer and urban indicator species, we combined fine‐scale field surveys with ...

Thiol‐Based Neuroprotective Copolymers Acutely Restore Redox Metabolism and Mediate Vasogenic Edema in a Mouse Model of Traumatic Brain Injury

Macromolecular Bioscience, Volume 26, Issue 7, July 2026.
In this study, we assess the efficacy of an antioxidant nanoparticle system, NPC3, for alleviating the secondary injury cascade in TBI with a specific focus on ameliorating molecular and structural deficits in a mouse controlled cortical impact model.

Mitochondrial Genomes of Klossia Species: The First Complete Extrachromosomal Sequence Data From Parasites in the Monoxenous Apicomplexan Family Adeleidae Mesnil, 1903 (Apicomplexa: Adeleorina)

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Complete mitochondrial genomes were sequenced and annotated from three Klossia species (Apicomplexa; Adeleorina) infecting snails in North America and Europe. Mitochondrial genomes of K. helicina (type species—NC_058857.1; 6728 bp), K. razorbacki (NC_058856.1; 6775 bp), and K.

Untangling Colour Diversity: Ecogeographic Patterns in Two Scolopendra Species Revealed by Citizen Science

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Using citizen‐science records, we analysed ecogeographic patterns of colour polymorphism in two closely related centipede species across Japan. While two colour morphs in Scolopendra mutilans are broadly sympatric, they are geographically restricted in S. japonica despite overlapping climatic niches and biotic interactions.

Bacteriophages in the Rhizosphere: Roles in Nutrient Cycling, Bacterial Community Structure, and Animal‐Mediated Dispersal

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
This review discusses bacteriophages' roles in soil ecosystems, highlighting their impact on nutrient cycling, plant health, and soil remediation, as well as animal‐mediated phage dispersal mechanisms. Overall, while bacteriophages have potential biotechnological applications, their negative effects on microbial functions and nutrient cycling highlight

Importance of millipedes (Diplopoda) in the autumn-winter diet of Scolopax rusticola

The European Zoological Journal, 2019
Authors examined the autumn-winter diet of the woodcock Scolopax rusticola from 407 gizzard samples originating from Crimea and Italy, resulting in a high number of millipedes (Diplopoda) in all the samples; this prey item was particularly important in ...
