Indigenous peoples and local community reports of climate change impacts on biodiversity

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Climate change impacts on biodiversity have been primarily studied through ecological research methods, largely ignoring other knowledge systems. Indigenous and local knowledge systems include rich observations of changes in biodiversity that can inform climate change adaptation planning and environmental stewardship.

Arthropod diversity in Iran: Class Diplopoda Blainville in Gervais, 1844 [PDF]

Journal of Insect Biodiversity and Systematics
Formally, the diplopod fauna of Iran presently contains 54 species from 27 genera, 13 families and eight orders, all listed and supplied with nomenclature, diversity estimates and known species records. Endemism is profound at the species level (CA 80%),

The ultimate legs of Chilopoda (Myriapoda): a review on their morphological disparity and functional variability [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
The arthropodium is the key innovation of arthropods. Its various modifications are the outcome of multiple evolutionary transformations, and the foundation of nearly endless functional possibilities.

Mitigating light pollution impacts on arthropods based on light‐emitting diode properties

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Light pollution from artificial light at night (ALAN) is a significant environmental problem with far‐reaching consequences for ecological systems. Recent innovations in light‐emitting diode (LED) technology may offer sustainable outdoor lighting solutions, but scientific evidence is lacking. We investigated the effects of various LED lighting

Evolution of Strigamia centipedes (Chilopoda): a first molecular assessment of phylogeny and divergence times [PDF]

, 2017
We present a first phylogenetic and temporal framework, with biogeographical insights, for the centipedes of the genus Strigamia, which are widespread predators in the forest soils of the Northern Hemisphere and comprise the evo-devo model species ...

Combined heat and drought affect the abundance, composition and diversity of subalpine surface‐active soil arthropod communities

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 98-112, February 2026.
We applied factorial soil warming and moisture reduction treatments directly in the field in the Australian subalpine to assess changes to surface‐active soil arthropod abundance, diversity and community composition. After identifying nearly 50,000 specimens to order, we found a stronger effect of sampling month than treatment.

Contexts of Anointing Behavior in a Group of Blond Capuchin Monkeys (Sapajus flavius) Inhabiting an Atlantic Forest Fragment

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 1, January 2026.
Wild blond capuchin anoints with millipede species that secrete a chemical capable of repelling ectoparasites, suggesting a self‐medicative function. Social and solitary anointing bouts occurred at similar frequencies, but with greater engagement by adult males, indicating that anointing is a multifunctional behavior.

Two new species, including one representing a new genus, of the West African millipede family Campodesmidae (Diplopoda: Polydesmida)

European Journal of Taxonomy, 2015
A new genus, Campodesmoides gen. nov., is described to only encompass C. corniger sp. nov., from Cameroon. This genus and species is distinguished from the few known species of the small western African family Campodesmidae, all currently in Campodesmus,

Ground-Dwelling Arthropod Communities of a Sky Island Mountain Range in Southeastern Arizona, USA: Obtaining a Baseline for Assessing the Effects of Climate Change. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
The few studies that have addressed past effects of climate change on species distributions have mostly focused on plants due to the rarity of historical faunal baselines.
