The body of millipedes consists of a head and a largely homonomous trunk composed of
units generally called diplosegments or rings. Most trunk rings are typically equipped with …

Millipedes (Diplopoda) comprise one of the most important groups of large soil arthropods in
terrestrial ecosystems; however, their phylogenetic relationships are poorly understood …

Arthropods constitute a highly diverse group of animals dominated by insects, arachnids,
crustaceans and myriapods, the latter consisting of two important classes: Chilopoda and …
