Canadian goldenrod (Solidago canadensis) invasion had taxon‐dependent effects on myriapods (Arthropoda: Myriapoda) in a protected urban meadow in Budapest, Hungary. Primary consumers such as millipedes and symphylans seemed to be more affected by the invasion than predators. Centipede assemblages were only affected by soil moisture and not by invasion.

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The introduction of non‐native tree species has become a global concern and may disrupt native communities and related ecosystem functions. Soil food webs regulate organic matter decomposition and nutrient cycling in forests with their feeding activities, but evaluating

We present a multimodal anatomy of the male genitalia of the bullet ant, Paraponera clavata. Using this as a model system, we expand and refine on the 5‐category system of homology classification proposed by Meneganzin et al. (2024) and we present evidence supporting the penis‐coxopod theory of male genitalic homology in male insects. Abstract The male

How pterygotid sea scorpions used their tripartite elongate cheliceres to get prey items close to the mouth region remains a conundrum. We applied four different 3D kinematic settings with regard to insertion and orientation of the cheliceres to examine the most likely way this was realized.

A new, simplified, drying protocol to prepare tardigrades for scanning electron microscopy
Here a cheap, safe, and fast new method for Tardigrada preparation for scanning electron microscope (SEM) is proposed. The new protocol allows to minimize the number of animals sacrificed for SEM studies and is potentially applicable to the study of other meiofaunal soft‐bodied taxa.

Protura are miniaturized soil arthropods with an enigmatic biology. Among mandibulate arthropods, Protura are outstanding due to the absence of antennae. This study provides the first detailed investigation on external cuticular sensilla in two proturan

Abstract Aim Humans have altered ecosystem productivity and biodiversity worldwide by changing land‐cover types and management. High local species richness is commonly found in geographic areas and ecosystems with high net primary productivity (NPP), but the long‐term effects of modification on productivity and biodiversity change, and particularly on ...
