Multifaceted DNA metabarcoding of guano to uncover multiple classes of ecological data in two different bat communities

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, Volume 15, Issue 7, Page 1189-1200, July 2022., 2022
Abstract DNA contained in animal scat provides a wealth of information about the animal, and DNA metabarcoding of scat collections can provide key information about animal populations and communities. Next‐generation DNA sequencing technologies and DNA metabarcoding provide an efficient means for obtaining information available in scat samples. We used

Novel mitochondrial gene rearrangements pattern in the millipede Polydesmus sp. GZCS‐2019 and phylogenetic analysis of the Myriapoda

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 3, March 2022., 2022
We determined the complete mitochondrial genome of Polydesmus sp. GZCS‐2019 and all genes encoded on + strand. Several genes rearrangements were detected and we propose a new rearrangement model: “TD (N\R) L + C” based on the genome‐scale duplication + (non‐random/random) loss + recombination. We combine phylogenetic analysis, divergence time, and gene

The lost lizards of Christmas Island: A retrospective assessment of factors driving the collapse of a native reptile community

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 3, Issue 2, February 2021., 2021
Abstract Until recently, the reptile fauna of Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean comprised five endemic species (two skinks, two geckos, and one snake) and one native, non‐endemic skink. Four of these species were common and widespread until at least 1979, but by 2012 had disappeared from the wild.

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

open access: yesZooKeys, 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.

First molecular data and the phylogenetic position of the millipede-like centipede Edentistoma octosulcatum Tömösváry, 1882 (Chilopoda: Scolopendromorpha: Scolopendridae). [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Edentistoma octosulcatum Tömösváry, 1882, is a rare, superficially millipede-like centipede known only from Borneo and the Philippines. It is unique within the order Scolopendromorpha for its slow gait, robust tergites, and highly modified gizzard and ...

Influence of seasonal and edaphic factors on the diversity of scolopendromorph centipedes (Chilopoda: Scolopendromorpha) and general observations on their ecology from Kerala, India

open access: yesJournal of Threatened Taxa, 2017
Scolopendromorph centipedes (Chilopoda: Scolopendromorpha) are a diverse group of invertebrate communities, which play significant, but often poorly acknowledged or understood roles in the delivery of soil ecosystem services.
