Summary: Myriapoda are a diverse group of terrestrial arthropods, some of which are herbivores, some predators and some decomposers. There are four classes of Myriapoda: centipedes (Chilopoda), millipedes (Diplopoda), pauropods (Pauropoda), and symphylans (Symphyla). In Finland, a total of 63 species have been found: 21 centipede, 28 millipede, eight pauropod, and six symphylan species. In total, there are ten red-listed species: the critically endangered (CR) Geophilus carpophagus, which was classified as Regionally Extinct (RE) in the two previous assessments, and the Near Threatened (NT) species G. electricus, G. truncorum and Julus scanicus. These species only have one known locality each, and no new observations have been made of the three Near Threatened (NT) species for a long time. Six species have been categorised as Data Deficient (DD). Many species were classified as Not Evaluated (NE) due to insufficient information on their occurrence. While no monitoring of Myriapoda has been organised in Finland, the information on the spread of the species in this country could be updated by organising a monitoring study of a few years in duration.

The Red List of Finnish Species 2019

Abstract: This publication describes the fifth assessment of Finnish threatened species. The current estimated number of species in Finland is at least 48,000. Sufficient information was available for the evaluation of 22,418 species or lower taxa, which is approximately 47\% of all species. In total, 2,667 species or lower taxa (11.9\%) were assessed as threatened. The red-listed species, which, in addition to threatened species, include the species classified as Regionally Extinct, Near Threatened, and Data Deficient, total 6,683 (29.8\%). Of the species evaluated, 489 were classified as Critically Endangered (CR), 918 as Endangered (EN), 1,260 as Vulnerable (VU), 1,912 as Near Threatened (NT), 1,792 as Data Deficient (DD), 312 as Regionally Extinct (RE), and 15,735 as of Least Concern (LC). The assessment was carried out in accordance with guidelines and criteria issued by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and applied in assessments at the regional level. These criteria are based on observed, estimated, inferred, or projected population size reduction; the extent of occurrence or area of occupancy; continuing decline in a small population or a very small size of population; or a quantitative analysis. In addition, species\’ habitats, as well as causes of threat and threat factors, were documented in the Finnish evaluation. The majority of threatened species live in forests (31\%) and in rural biotopes and other cultural habitats (24\%). Of the species assessed the proportion of threatened species is highest in Alpine habitats (37.9\%). The number of threatened species is highest in the hemiboreal and southern boreal zones in southern Finland. The results of the assessment are compared to the previous assessment 2010 for example with the Red List Index. In addition, proceedings of the proposals given by the steering group of the previous assessment are evaluated. The steering group of this assessment made 13 proposals for measures for the arrangement and financing of the conservation, management, research, and monitoring of threatened species. The results of the work of the expert groups responsible for the evaluation are presented in 39 organism group -specific sections.

A review is given of all the literature records of millipedes and centipedes that have been found in German greenhouses together with additional records for 29 such sites. Species lists are given for 46 greenhouses investigated throughout Germany. Thirty-five diplopod and 18 chilopod species were found to occur in greenhouses, of which 15 (3 Chilopoda, 12 Diplopoda) are restricted to this type of habitat. First records for Germany include Anadenobolus monilicornis (Porat, 1876), Epinannolene cf. trinidadensis Chamberlin, 1918, Epinannolene sp., Mesoiulus gridellii Strasser, 1934, Leptogoniulus sorornus (Butler, 1876), Rhinotus purpureus (Pocock, 1894), Cryptops doriae Pocock, 1891, Lamyctes coeculus (Br\ölemann, 1889) and Tygarrup javanicus (Attems, 1907). The millipedes Oxidus gracilis (C. L. Koch, 1847) and Amphitomeus attemsi (Schubart, 1934) and the centipedes Lithobius forficatus (Linnaeus, 1758) and Cryptops hortensis (Donovan, 1810) are the species most frequently found in greenhouses.

Patterns of feeding interactions between species are thought to influence the stability of communities and the flux of nutrients and energy through ecosystems. However, surprisingly few well-resolved food webs allow us to evaluate factors that influence the architecture of species interactions. We constructed a meta food web consisting of 714 invertebrate species collected over 9 years of suction and pitfall sampling campaigns in the Jena Experiment, a long-term grassland biodiversity experiment located in Jena, Germany. We summarize information on the 51,496 potential trophic links, which were established using information on diet specificity and species traits that typically constrain feeding interactions (trophic group, body size, and vertical stratification). The list of species identities, traits, and link-derivation rules will be useful not only for tests of plant diversity effects on food web structure within the Jena Experiment, but also for considering consistent construction of food webs from empirical data, and for comparisons of network structure across ecosystems.

Soil organisms drive major ecosystem functions by mineralising carbon and releasing nutrients during decomposition processes, which supports plant growth, aboveground biodiversity and, ultimately, human nutrition. Soil ecologists often operate with functional groups to infer the effects of individual taxa on ecosystem functions and services. Simultaneous assessment of the functional roles of multiple taxa is possible using food-web reconstructions, but our knowledge of the feeding habits of many taxa is insufficient and often based on limited evidence. Over the last two decades, molecular, biochemical and isotopic tools have improved our understanding of the feeding habits of various soil organisms, yet this knowledge is still to be synthesised into a common functional framework. Here, we provide a comprehensive review of the feeding habits of consumers in soil, including protists, micro-, meso- and macrofauna (invertebrates), and soil-associated vertebrates. We have integrated existing functional group classifications with findings gained with novel methods and compiled an overarching classification across taxa focusing on key universal traits such as food resource preferences, body masses, microhabitat specialisation, protection and hunting mechanisms. Our summary highlights various strands of evidence that many functional groups commonly used in soil ecology and food-web models are feeding on multiple types of food resources. In many cases, omnivory is observed down to the species level of taxonomic resolution, challenging realism of traditional soil food-web models based on distinct resource-based energy channels. Novel methods, such as stable isotope, fatty acid and DNA gut content analyses, have revealed previously hidden facets of trophic relationships of soil consumers, such as food assimilation, multichannel feeding across trophic levels, hidden trophic niche differentiation and the importance of alternative food/prey, as well as energy transfers across ecosystem compartments. Wider adoption of such tools and the development of open interoperable platforms that assemble morphological, ecological and trophic data as traits of soil taxa will enable the refinement and expansion of the multifunctional classification of consumers in soil. The compiled multifunctional classification of soil-associated consumers will serve as a reference for ecologists working with biodiversity changes and biodiversity?ecosystem functioning relationships, making soil food-web research more accessible and reproducible.

Over the years with an interest in the more formal study of myriapods, especially centipedes, I have also accumulated a few items of what we might call \"trivia\" - prints, pictures etc. The two items here come into that category and I know there are many more like them around and they are offered as light relief for Bulletin readers. I know little about The Penny Magazine but it clearly represents a cheap, presumably weekly, publication dedicated to that great Victorian aim of \"self improvement\". This issue comprises eight pages with items as varied as \"Essays on the lives of Remarkable Painters No.XXXI: Andrea del Sarto\", \"The English and Irish Ordnance Surveys\" and \"The Hareem of Ibrahim Pasha\". I have abridged the item on Centipedes and Millipedes from the original three pages. \"The Rabbit and the Centipede\" comes from a children\&$\#$39;s book of 1907. I am not sure that it sheds any particular new light on myriapod locomotory mechanisms.

  1. A dramatic insect decline has been documented on the grasslands and forests of European or North American mainland. Yet, other parts of the world and other ecosystems remain much less studied with unknown patterns.
  2. Using a unique time-series dataset, we investigate recent trends on abundance and richness of arthropods sampled in Azorean native forest over 6\ years (2013\–2018).
  3. We test the hypothesis that biodiversity erosion drivers are changing the diversity and relative species abundance structure (species abundance distribution, SAD) of endemics, native non-endemics and exotic species over time. We also examine temporal trends in abundance for each individual species.
  4. In contrast with mainland studies, we observed no decline in overall arthropod diversity, but a clear increase in the diversity of exotic arthropods and some evidence of a tendency for decreasing abundance for some endemic species. We also document stronger species turnover for exotic species, but no specific changes in the SAD.
  5. We argue that many changes, particularly in unique systems such as islands, will be noticed not at the richness but mostly at compositional level. Special attention should be given to exotic species which are known to be one of the major drivers of biodiversity erosion on islands.

The dramatic increase in soil degradation in the last few decades has led to the need to identify methods to define not only soil quality but also, in a holistic approach, soil health. In the past twenty years, indices based on living communities have been proposed alongside the already proven physical-chemical methods. Among them, some soil invertebrates have been included in monitoring programs as bioindicators of soil quality. Being an important portion of soil fauna, soil arthropods are involved in many soil processes such as organic matter decomposition and translocation, nutrient cycling, microflora activity regulation and bioturbation. Many studies have reported the use of soil arthropods to define soil quality; among taxa, some have been explored more in depth, typically Acari and Collembola, while generally less abundant groups, such as Palpigradi or Embioptera, have not been investigated much. This paper aims to evaluate and compare the use of different soil microarthropod taxa in soil degradation/quality studies to highlight which groups are the most reported for soil monitoring and which are the most sensitive to soil degradation. We have decided not to include the two most present and abundant taxa, Acari and Collembola, in this paper in consideration of the vast amount of existing literature and focus the discussion on the other microarthropod groups. We reported some studies for each taxon highlighting the use of the group as soil quality indicator. A brief section reporting some indices based on soil microarthropods is proposed at the end of this specific discussion. This paper can be considered as a reference point in the use of soil arthropods to estimate soil quality and health.

Resumen: La fauna de las cavernas gran\íticas est\á poco estudiada, en buena parte porque las cavidades suelen ser de peque\ño tama\ño y por lo tanto poco atractivas para la bioespeleolog\ía. Una excepci\ón es el conjunto de cavidades de O Fol\ón, en Coruxo (Vigo, Pontevedra), que cuenta con m\ás de 900 m de galer\ías y alcanza una cota de -34 m. En este art\ículo se presentan los resultados de 18 muestreos realizados entre 2016 y 2020, principalmente con b\úsqueda manual. Se han recogido 171 espec\ímenes, de los cuales se han identificado hasta g\énero 141, y hasta especie 115. Entre los grupos mejor representados se encuentran los Chilopoda y Diplopoda, destacando el platid\ésmido Dolistenus iberoalbus Mauri\ès, 2015, abundante en varios de los muestreos y s\ólo conocido por la serie tipo. Se cita por primera vez Lithobius validus Meinert, 1872 de Pontevedra y Lithobius schubarti Demange, 1959 de Galicia. Entre la fauna de ar\ácnidos, se cita Meta menardi (Latreille, 1804) por primera vez para Galicia. En relaci\ón a los Opiliones, se ha encontrado Nemastomella dentipatellae Dresco, 1967, nunca antes citado en la provincia de Pontevedra. La clase mejor representada es la de los insectos, con 78 ejemplares pertenecientes a 7 \órdenes. Las cinco especies de Staphylinidae halladas en las cavernas representan primeras citas para la provincia de Pontevedra. Este singular sistema subterr\áneo no goza de ninguna protecci\ón, por lo que esta primera lista de su fauna, puede servir para resaltar la importancia de preservar dicho h\ábitat, que muestra varios impactos de origen antr\ópico.

Abstract: The fauna of granite caves is poorly known, largely because these cavities are usually small and therefore unattractive for biospeleology. An exception is the O Fol\ón cavity complex, in Coruxo (Vigo, Pontevedra), which has more than 900 m of galleries and reaches a depth of -34 m. This paper presents the results of 18 samplings, mainly manual, carried out between 2016 and 2020. We collected 171 specimens, of which 141 have been identified to genus, and 115 to species. Some of the groups best represented in our samplings are the Chilopoda and Diplopoda, among which the platydesmid Dolistenus iberoalbus Mauri\ès, 2015 is particularly worthy of note: it was abundant in several of the samplings butwas pre viously known only from the type series. Lithobius validus Meinert, 1872 is recorded from Pontevedra for the first time and Lithobius schubarti Demange, 1959 is a first record for Galicia. Among the arachnids, Meta menardi (Latreille, 1804) is recorded for the first time from Galicia. As for the Opiliones, we found the first specimens of Nemastomella dentipatellae Dresco, 1967 from Pontevedra province. The best represented class is that of insects, with 78 specimens belonging to 7 orders. The five species of Staphylinidae found in the caves are first records for Pontevedra province. This unique underground system does not have any protection status, so this first list of its fauna can serve to highlight the importance of preserving this habitat, which shows some signs of anthropogenic disturbance.

This report presents the results of the mapping and assessment of soil biodiversity and its functions in cropland dominated landscapes in Bulgaria. We summarize the motivation for the assessment, highlighting the importance of assessing biodiversity-mediated processes in the soil, to complement soil condition indicators based on physical and chemical properties of soils. Soil organisms are involved in several critical ecological processes that mediate various benefits associated to cropland productivity such as soil organic matter formation, organic matter decomposition and nutrient circulation, symbiotic functions with plants that promote nutrient and water uptake, and pest and disease control through natural enemies.

There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO\’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today\&$\#$39;s global threats.

The year 2018 is particularly important in the history of zoological research in Poland. A hundred years ago, Kazimierz Demel published the first work concerning the terrestrial cave fauna of caves in the Ojc\ów area. In this paper we present the extent of research on the terrestrial invertebrate fauna of Polish caves in the last 100 years. All accessible research papers that have been published during this period were analysed. Based on published literature, 593 species of terrestrial invertebrate were recorded in Polish caves. Additionally, detailed list of species of individual taxonomic groups was provided.

The P450 family (CYP genes) of arthropods encodes diverse enzymes involved in the metabolism of foreign compounds and in essential endocrine or ecophysiological functions. The P450 sequences (CYPome) from 40 arthropod species were manually curated, including 31 complete CYPomes, and a maximum likelihood phylogeny of nearly 3000 sequences is presented. Arthropod CYPomes are assembled from members of six CYP clans of variable size, the CYP2, CYP3, CYP4 and mitochondrial clans, as well as the CYP20 and CYP16 clans that are not found in Neoptera. CYPome sizes vary from two dozen genes in some parasitic species to over 200 in species as diverse as collembolans or ticks. CYPomes are comprised of few CYP families with many genes and many CYP families with few genes, and this distribution is the result of dynamic birth and death processes. Lineage-specific expansions or blooms are found throughout the phylogeny and often result in genomic clusters that appear to form a reservoir of catalytic diversity maintained as heritable units. Among the many P450s with physiological functions, six CYP families are involved in ecdysteroid metabolism. However, five so-called Halloween genes are not universally represented and do not constitute the unique pathway of ecdysteroid biosynthesis. The diversity of arthropod CYPomes has only partially been uncovered to date and many P450s with physiological functions regulating the synthesis and degradation of endogenous signal molecules (including ecdysteroids) and semiochemicals (including pheromones and defense chemicals) remain to be discovered. Sequence diversity of arthropod P450s is extreme, and P450 sequences lacking the universally conserved Cys ligand to the heme have evolved several times. A better understanding of P450 evolution is needed to discern the relative contributions of stochastic processes and adaptive processes in shaping the size and diversity of CYPomes.

Background: Phylogenetic relationships among the myriapod subgroups Chilopoda, Diplopoda, Symphyla and Pauropoda are still not robustly resolved. The first phylogenomic study covering all subgroups resolved phylogenetic relationships congruently to morphological evidence but is in conflict with most previously published phylogenetic trees based on diverse molecular data. Outgroup choice and long-branch attraction effects were stated as possible explanations for these incongruencies. In this study, we addressed these issues by extending the myriapod and outgroup taxon sampling using transcriptome data.

Results: We generated new transcriptome data of 42 panarthropod species, including all four myriapod subgroups and additional outgroup taxa. Our taxon sampling was complemented by published transcriptome and genome data resulting in a supermatrix covering 59 species. We compiled two data sets, the first with a full coverage of genes per species (292 single-copy protein-coding genes), the second with a less stringent coverage (988 genes). We inferred phylogenetic relationships among myriapods using different data types, tree inference, and quartet computation approaches. Our results unambiguously support monophyletic Mandibulata and Myriapoda. Our analyses clearly showed that there is strong signal for a single unrooted topology, but a sensitivity of the position of the internal root on the choice of outgroups. However, we observe strong evidence for a clade Pauropoda+Symphyla, as well as for a clade Chilopoda+Diplopoda.

Conclusions: Our best quartet topology is incongruent with current morphological phylogenies which were supported in another phylogenomic study. AU tests and quartet mapping reject the quartet topology congruent to trees inferred with morphological characters. Moreover, quartet mapping shows that confounding signal present in the data set is sufficient to explain the weak signal for the quartet topology derived from morphological characters. Although outgroup choice affects results, our study could narrow possible trees to derivatives of a single quartet topology. For highly disputed relationships, we propose to apply a series of tests (AU and quartet mapping), since results of such tests allow to narrow down possible relationships and to rule out confounding signal.

The shallow underground of rock debris is a unique animal refuge. Nevertheless, the research of this habitat lags far behind the study of caves and soil, due to technical and time-consuming demands. Data on Myriapoda in scree habitat from eleven localities in seven different geomorphological units of the Czech and Slovak Republics were processed. Based on previous studies, as well as knowledge of cave and soil fauna, it was hypothesised that the occurrence of a varied and peculiar fauna would show a pattern of depth distribution with variations due to local specificities. From 2005\–2016 (at least one year on each site), macrofauna was collected via sets of three long-term exposed subterranean traps consisting of 110 cm long perforated tube, with ten cups located in a gradient at 5\–95 cm below the soil surface. In total, 14 symphylans (not identified to species level), 271 centipedes (23 spp.) and 572 millipedes (32 spp.) were sampled. The overall depth distribution of centipedes and millipedes appeared to have relatively similar pattern, with both groups being found at all depth levels. Nevertheless, this pattern depends on locations. The depth distribution trend lines are mostly in the form of an asymmetric \‘U\’, with decreased abundance until the middle of the gradient, followed by increase in the deepest levels. Epigeic species were sporadically distributed along the whole depth gradient, but concentrated at the soil surface, while some subterranean species, such as the centipede Lithobius lucifugus and the millipedes Geoglomeris subterranea, Cibiniulus slovacus and Archiboreoiulus pallidus, were recorded in the deepest parts of the gradient. This characterises the debris community as a mixture of soil and subterranean species with an absence of species exclusively found in caves. The use of different fixation methods in traps had a significant and selective impact on samples; millipedes were either attracted by ethylene glycol or repelled by formaldehyde. Centipedes were also captured more frequently in ethylene glycol; however, the species composition varied in each of the fixatives. Depth distribution of myriapods was similar in both fixative solutions. Traps with these fixatives could be recommended for similar ecological studies.
