The Genetic Diversity in Thereuonema tuberculata (Wood, 1862) (Scutigeromorpha: Scutigeridae) and the Phylogenetic Relationship of Scutigeromorpha Using the Mitochondrial Genome [PDF]
Insects, 2022 Based on morphological characteristics to make species identification, the cryptic species of the Scutigeromorpha can be greatly underestimated. The mitochondrial genome provides a desirable tool for the biological identifications and the discovery of ...

Unusual Genetic Diversity Within Thereuopoda clunifera (Wood, 1862) (Chilopoda: Scutigeromorpha) Revealed by Phylogeny and Divergence Times Using Mitochondrial Genomes [PDF]
InsectsAs one of the four primary evolutionary groups within myriapods, centipedes (Chilopoda) comprise approximately 3150 valid species. Recent molecular studies have begun to elucidate the phylogeny and time to divergence in Chilopoda; yet, identifying ...

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

Untangling Colour Diversity: Ecogeographic Patterns in Two <i>Scolopendra</i> Species Revealed by Citizen Science. [PDF]
Ecol EvolUsing citizen‐science records, we analysed ecogeographic patterns of colour polymorphism in two closely related centipede species across Japan. While two colour morphs in Scolopendra mutilans are broadly sympatric, they are geographically restricted in S. japonica despite overlapping climatic niches and biotic interactions.

Novel mitochondrial gene rearrangements pattern in the millipede Polydesmus sp. GZCS-2019 and phylogenetic analysis of the Myriapoda. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 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

Legged Locomotion in Lattices: Centipede Traversal of Obstacle-Rich Environments. [PDF]
Ann N Y Acad SciWe investigated how centipedes adapted their limb stepping and body bending patterns in a dense array of rigid obstacles (vertical posts). Centipedes maintained a rapid speed in the obstacle array by adapting their gaits in several ways, including adducing their limbs along their bodies to mitigate collisions, twisting their bodies into more favorable ...

Taxonomic and nomenclatural reassessment of the Iberian Peninsula’s nomina obscura, Scolopendra viridipes Dufour, 1820 and S. chlorotes L. Koch in Rosenhauer, 1856 (Chilopoda, Scolopendromorpha, Scolopendridae) [PDF]
ZooKeysThe taxonomic identities of the two largely neglected Scolopendra Linnaeus, 1758 species from continental Spain, S. viridipes Dufour, 1820 and S. chlorotes L. Koch in Rosenhauer, 1856, are examined in this paper.

The Myriapoda of Halimun-Salak National Park (Java, Indonesia): overview and faunal composition [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2019 The myriapod fauna of the mega-diverse country of Indonesia is so far insufficiently known, with no species lists or determination keys. In order to obtain an overview of the faunal composition of the Myriapoda in an Indonesian forest system, the fauna ...
