Natural history, taxonomy, and phylogenetics of Appalachian flat-backed millipedes (Diplopoda: Polydesmida)
… polychroma functions as a model for the genus Brachoria. I measured the size of the chemical gland to assess toxicity in 15 species, and reconstructed the ancestral dimensions of the gland to determine the direction of volume change over evolutionary time. Using a molecular phylogeny, I traced …

Millipedes have extremely low dispersal capacity, strict environmental requirements for survival and, in the case of the family Xystodesmidae, are completely …
