Fecal Material of Captive Wild Animals as Source of CAZymes With Application Potential

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 8, April 2026.
With the goal to identify a novel resource of enzymes, we tested for the potential of fecal metagenomes of captive wild animals to provide CAZymes. Our data show that CAZymes profiles differed between animals with varying gut physiology and diet, and that metagenomes of captive wild animals can be considered source of diverse CAZymes including rare and

Hydroxynitrile lyases from cyanogenic millipedes: molecular cloning, heterologous expression, and whole-cell biocatalysis for the production of (R)-mandelonitrile

Scientific Reports, 2018
Hydroxynitrile lyases (HNLs), which are key enzymes in cyanogenesis, catalyze the cleavage of cyanohydrins into carbonyl compounds and hydrogen cyanide.

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

Droplet, Volume 5, Issue 2, April 2026.
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.

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 ...

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 ...

Insights Into Spatial Orientation and Cognition in Tarantulas (Araneae: Theraphosidae) Under Natural Conditions, With Notes on Possible Ontogenetic Niche Shifts

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Cognitive studies on spiders have largely ignored mygalomorphs, such as tarantulas, and almost completely lack field‐based observations. We present nine observations of arboreal and fossorial New World tarantulas, including a blind cave‐dwelling species, providing evidence for possible experience‐based navigation and spatial learning during foraging ...

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

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.

A Novel Light‐Induced Collective Circular Movement in Armadillo sordidus Isopods

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We describe an interesting aggregative behavior in terrestrial isopods. We conclude that this behavior is in response to intense artificial lighting. ABSTRACT Collective movement in terrestrial isopods has rarely been documented and almost never discussed.
