Fossil age data and molecular sequences are increasingly combined to establish a
timescale for the Tree of Life. Arthropods, as the most species-rich and morphologically …

The forest genus Centrobolus of diplopoda belonging to the Order Spirobolida is distributed
along the eastern coast of southern Africa. Sexual size dimorphism (SSD) can be explained …

The data collected by the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), some 2.2 billion
records, is arguably the largest international initiative to digitize and share primary …

Apfelbeckia insculpta (L. Koch, 1867) is one of the largest European millipedes and an
endemic species of the Balkan Peninsula. We present data on sexual dimorphism in size …

Recent transcriptomic studies of myriapod phylogeny have been based on relatively small
datasets with< 40 myriapod terminals and variably supported or contradicted the traditional …

We report fluid feeding with a sucking pump in the arthropod class Diplopoda, using a
combination of synchrotron tomography, histology, electron microscopy, and three …

Animal life in caves has fascinated researchers and the public alike because of the unusual
and sometimes bizarre morphological adaptations observed in numerous troglobitic …

Climate warming is predicted to result in changes to phenology, behaviour and abundance
as well as poleward shifts or upslope displacements of the distribution of species. However …

In order to provide a reassessment of the Neotropical genus Pseudonannolene Silvestri,
1895, a cladistic analysis, biogeographic analysis, and taxonomic review were conducted in …

The present study provides historical and new records of the introduced millipedes species
in Brazil, Oxidus gracilis (CL Koch, 1847), Orthomorpha coarctata (Saussure, 1860) …
