Occurrence Records of Brazilian Spirostreptida (Myriapoda: Diplopoda) in the Atlantic Forest Are Biased Towards Proximity to State Highways and Urban Areas

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Diplopoda is one of the most diverse terrestrial arthropod groups in Brazil, with the order Spirostreptida Brandt, 1833 standing out for its species richness. Most of the ~180 Brazilian Spirostreptida species occur in the Atlantic Forest, primarily along its coastal region.

Nest boxes as microhabitats supporting diverse arthropod communities

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 832-837, August 2026.
Diverse Micro‐Habitats: Nest boxes supported 3634 arthropods from 82 families, highlighting their significant conservation value as artificial micro‐habitats for diverse invertebrate communities beyond their primary use for birds. Occupancy Boosts Diversity: Occupied nests exhibited significantly higher arthropod richness, abundance and Shannon ...

The myriapodological legacy of Victor Ivanovich Motschoulsky (1810–1871)

ZooKeys, 2014
The little that remains of Motschoulsky’s myriapodological legacy in the collection of Moscow’s Zoological Museum proves to be of very limited value.

Into the Darkness: Unveiling Unexpected Records of the Nonnative Millipede Prosopodesmus jacobsoni Silvestri, 1910 (Polydesmida: Haplodesmidae) in Brazilian Caves

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This study expands the known distribution of the nonnative millipede Prosopodesmus jacobsoni in Brazil and reports its presence in cave environments for the first time in the country. Based on recently collected material and historical records, the species is shown to maintain stable populations in subterranean systems in the states of ...

New genera for two poorly-known millipeds from Bahia (Polydesmida: Chelodesmidae)

Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2012
Two chelodesmid millipeds described by Brölemann (1903) from the interior of Bahia have not been reported for over 100 years despite their large size and bright coloration. Originally described as Leptodesmus gounellei and Leptodesmus carminatus, neither

A Regional DNA Barcode Library for Northern Rocky Mountain Arthropods to Support Biodiversity and Molecular Ecological Research

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We developed the MPG Ranch Arthropod Library (MPG‐AL), a COI DNA barcode reference library for arthropods of the Northern Rocky Mountains, to address gaps in barcode coverage for the western United States. From 86,533 specimens collected in Montana, we generated 52,270 DNA barcodes spanning 38 orders and 1793 species, adding 5154 Barcode Index Numbers (

Especie nueva de Cyrtaphe (Diplopoda: Polydesmida: Chelodesmidae) para la República Dominicana

Novitates Caribaea, 2010
Se describe la segunda especie de milpiés del género Cyrtaphe para la República Dominicana; otras tres especies habitan en Haití. La estructura de los gonopodos la distingue del resto de las especies conocidas.

Contributions of early and late cover provision to the abundance and diversity of invertebrate prey for Corncrakes (Crex crex)

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.
Early and late cover (ELC) provides important habitat for ground‐dwelling invertebrates and significantly increases the abundance of Corncrake prey during key stages of the breeding season. Using mixed models, we show that ELC supports higher prey abundance than unmanaged natural regeneration cover and surrounding farmland.

Hidden Diversity of Cave Millipedes From Mainland Southeast Asia Revealed by Species Delimitation and Phylogenetic Analysis, With a Description of a New Genus (Spirostreptida: Cambalopsidae)

Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Southeast Asia’s karst landscapes host a remarkable yet understudied diversity of cave‐dwelling fauna, where morphological conservatism often masks true species boundaries. Using an integrative taxonomic framework, we investigated the systematics of the millipede family Cambalopsidae Cook, 1895 inhabiting caves across Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, and ...

Micro Gondwana: soil and litter mesofauna in the subalpine and alpine of North‐West Nelson, southern New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 52, Issue 5, Page 944-966, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Alpine ecosystems are vulnerable to the warming climate, yet alpine soil mesofauna remains the less studied part of NZ biodiversity. Here we present a survey of soil mesofauna communities of three mountain peaks in the Nelson‐Tasman and Marlborough regions of the South Island of New Zealand.
