Comparative analysis of mitogenomes in six Scolopendra species (Chilopoda, Scolopendromorpha): insights into rare genetic rearrangements and phylogeny [PDF]

ZooKeys
Six complete mitochondrial genomes from species within Scolopendra (Scolopendromorpha) (S. alcyona, S. calcarata, S. cataracta, S. lufengia, S. mazbii, and S. multidens) were analyzed. The mitochondrial genomes ranged in size from 14,422 bp to 15,458 bp,

Spatial and Temporal Variation of Precipitation Drives the Genome Size Variation in Scolopendra in Chinese Mainland [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Genome size is an adaptive trait, and its variations influence the organismal phenotype and fitness. In this study, we propose a hypothesis linking variations in genome size within Scolopendra to ecological factors.

Systemic anaphylaxis following centipede envenomation: A case report and review of literature [PDF]

Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care
Centipede envenomation is usually not life-threatening. They usually present with local symptoms of swelling and pain. Centipede venoms contain large amounts of allergenic proteins that can pose a risk of allergic complications following the bite.

Type designation and redescription of Scolopendra spinosissima Kraepelin, 1903 (Scolopendromorpha, Scolopendridae), with remarks on related taxa [PDF]

ZooKeys
The recent description of the scolopendromorph centipede Scolopendra paradoxa Doménech, 2018 raised questions concerning the morphological limits of its closest relative S. spinosissima Kraepelin, 1903.

The scolopendromorph centipedes (Chilopoda, Scolopendromorpha) of Tunisia: taxonomy, distribution and habitats

ZooKeys, 2008
The present paper provides a review of the composition, distribution and habitat preferences of the scolopendromorph centipedes of Tunisia. Five (sub-)genera and 8 (sub-)species have hitherto been reported from the country, of which two are of uncertain ...

A proton-gated channel identified in the centipede antenna [PDF]

EMBO Reports
Acid sensing is essential for various biological processes in animals, yet it exhibits species-specific characteristics. In this study, we identified a proton-dissociation-permeated sodium channel (PDPNaC1) in the antennal sensory neurons of the ...

Use of Hen Egg Derived Immunoglobulin Against Scolopendra (Scolopendra Gigantea) Venom

Revista Científica, 2009
A scolopendra sting in humans and domestic animals is an acute and highly painful accident. The present study was an attempt to raise specific hyper-immune polyclonal antibodies against scolopendra centipede (Scolopendra gigantea Linneaus 1758) venom.

Myriapod haemocyanin: the first three-dimensional reconstruction of Scolopendra subspinipes and preliminary structural analysis of S. viridicornis [PDF]

Open Biology, 2020
Haemocyanins (Hcs) are copper-containing, respiratory proteins that occur in the haemolymph of many arthropod species. Here, we report the presence of Hcs in the chilopode Myriapoda, demonstrating that these proteins are more widespread among the ...

The Centipede Genus Scolopendra in Mainland Southeast Asia: Molecular Phylogenetics, Geometric Morphometrics and External Morphology as Tools for Species Delimitation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Seven Scolopendra species from the Southeast Asian mainland delimited based on standard external morphological characters represent monophyletic groups in phylogenetic trees inferred from concatenated sequences of three gene fragments (cytochrome c ...

Eat or be eaten? An observation of Podarcis erhardii consuming Scolopendra cingulata from Andros Island, Cyclades, Greece [PDF]

Herpetozoa, 2022
Podarcis wall lizards mainly feed on coleopterans, orthopterans, arachnids, and other small invertebrates. However, Aegean wall lizards, Podarcis erhardii, are widely distributed across Aegean islands and are increasingly observed eating non-traditional ...
