Additional moults into ‘elongatus’ males in laboratory-reared Polydesmus angustus Latzel, 1884 (Diplopoda, Polydesmida, Polydesmidae) – implications for taxonomy [PDF]

open access: yesZooKeys, 2011
The number of stadia during post-embryonic development is supposed to be fixed in most species of the millipede order Polydesmida. For the first time since 1928, additional moults were observed in two males of Polydesmus angustus Latzel, 1884 reared in ...

Opposite changes in the resistance to cold and desiccation, which occur during the development of the millipede Polydesmus angustus (Diplopoda: Polydesmidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2003
Supercooling point (SCP), survival at low temperatures, rate of water loss in dry air at 20°C and survival under desiccating conditions of eggs of Polydesmus angustus (Diplopoda) were determined.

Female reproductive patterns in the millipede Polydesmus angustus (Diplopoda: Polydesmidae) and their significance for cohort-splitting

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2009
First-stadium juveniles of Polydesmus angustus born each month from May to September were reared throughout their life cycle under controlled seasonal conditions. At maturity, the reproductive patterns of 62 females were studied individually.

Cohort-splitting in the millipede Polydesmus angustus (Diplopoda: Polydesmidae): No evidence for maternal effects on life-cycle duration

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2011
Under seasonal conditions, Polydesmus angustus individuals born in the first part of the breeding season have a 1-year life cycle and those born later have a 2-year life cycle (cohort-splitting).

Structure of the midgut epithelium in four diplopod species: histology, histochemistry and ultrastructure [PDF]

open access: yesArthropod Systematics & Phylogeny, 2021
The middle region of the digestive system of millipedes, the midgut, is responsible for all processes connected with digestion, but also takes part in homeostasis maintenance thanks to the ability to activate many mechanisms which neutralize changes ...

Contrasting seasonal patterns in diet and dung‐associated invertebrates of feral cattle and horses in a rewilding area

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 8, Page 2071-2091, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Trophic rewilding is increasingly applied in restoration efforts, with the aim of reintroducing the ecological functions provided by large‐bodied mammals and thereby promote self‐regulating, biodiverse ecosystems. However, empirical evidence for the effects of megafauna introductions on the abundance and richness of other organisms such as ...

Diplopoda and Chilopoda of Thuringia, Germany

open access: yesSoil Organisms, 2009
Intensive recent sampling in Thuringia has greatly increased the species lists for both Chilopoda (to 30 species) and Diplopoda (to 52 species). First results concerning the species distribution in the different biogeographical regions in Thuringia and ...
