Total herbivore exclusion alters plant species dominance and trait expression in endangered grassy woodlands

open access: yesEcology, Volume 107, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Herbivores are important drivers of plant community composition and dominance in grassy ecosystems, yet few studies have attempted to understand how different types of herbivores impact plant dominance and function. This study examined the biomass of dominant grass species and other plant functional groups after 3 years of nested herbivore ...

Sowbugs, pillbugs, millipedes and centipedes (2007) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Sowbugs and pillbugs are closely related to shrimp, crabs and lobsters. Although they may occasionally invade the home, they normally prefer moist areas outdoors at the soil surface in mulched flowerbeds, leaf litter, grass clippings and other debris ...

Working 9 to 5: Diurnal Variability in Terrestrial Invertebrate Activity Does Not Compromise Ecosystem Health Assessments in Dry Stream Channels

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 3, Page 676-688, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Temporary streams are impacted by climate change and other anthropogenic pressures, but fluctuating water levels complicate ecological assessments. Terrestrial invertebrate communities may enable dry‐phase assessments, but their sampling can be resource intensive.

Millipedes

open access: yes, 2000
Millipedes are related to trilobites, spiders and ticks, sowbugs, and crayfish, centipedes, and insects. Each group represents a different class of arthropods. Millipedes or "thousandlegged worms" include over 800 species of the class Diplopoda in North America.

A New Species of \u3ci\u3eEuryurus\u3c/i\u3e From Southern Alabama and Remarks on the Status of \u3ci\u3eIlliniurus Beattyi\u3c/i\u3e Shear (Diplopoda: Polydesmida: Euryuridae). [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
A new species of polydesmidan millipede of the family Euryuridae, Euryurus lecythanoictes, is described. Another millipede of Euryuridae, Illiniurus beattyi Shear, is considered to be an aberrant specimen and therefore not a true species.

Adaptaquin is selectively toxic to glioma stem cells through disruption of iron and cholesterol metabolism

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, Volume 20, Issue 2, Page 307-330, February 2026.
Adaptaquin selectively kills glioma stem cells while sparing differentiated brain cells. Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses show Adaptaquin disrupts iron and cholesterol homeostasis, with iron chelation amplifying cytotoxicity via cholesterol depletion, mitochondrial dysfunction, and elevated reactive oxygen species.

Creek Beds and Cape Hares: Spatial and Seasonal Determinants of Caracal Movement and Diet in a Hyperarid Desert Ecosystem

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study examined habitat selection and diet of caracals in Israel's hyperarid Arava Valley using radio‐telemetry data, scat analysis, and four decades of observations, revealing that caracals strongly prefer creek bed habitats year‐round while showing sex‐specific differences in home range size and seasonal responses to human infrastructure.

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

open access: yesThe 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 ...

open access: yes, 1984
The monotypic Lissodesmus modestus Chamberlin, 1920,is redescribed from nearly topotypical material, and four new species, L. adrianae L. alisonae L. perporosus and L. margaretae all from Tasmania are added to the genus. Australopeltis Johns, 1964, based
