The myriapod communities of an area of woodland restored to wood pasture through tree felling was compared with a control site in dense woodland, using pitfall trapping over a 28-year period. 14 species of millipede and 13 of centipede were recorded. Numbers of individual species varied over time even within the control plot. There were significantly more centipede individuals and species and more millipede species in the control plot than the restoration area. NMDS ordination indicated three groupings for the millipedes in the restored area with the community changing following the initial restoration to a tight cluster but then further movement in later years. In contrast the control community showed little variation. 2015 showed the greatest change from other years, probably due to high abundance of two species of polydesmid millipede that year, in both plots. The results are discussed in comparison with other studies looking at the impact of the edge effect of forests. The community of the restored area has perhaps not changed as much as expected, which may indicate a high degree of resilience, although it may be acting more like a forest clearing than an edge.

The identification of 5 species from a recent collection of 23 specimens from two areas in Israel is given. Two new species of Polyxenida are recorded, including the first species in the family Synxenidae (Phryssonotus sp.) and the first species from the family Polyxenidae, subfamily Macroxeninae (Chilexenus sp.), from Israel. These species are identified only to genus due to the lack of undamaged adult material. Two species in the family Lophoproctidae are also identified, one previously recorded but not described, is now described as Lophoproctus israelensis sp. nov., and Lophoproctinus chichinii Condé, 1951 is recorded from Israel for the first time. The fifth species is identified as possibly a new species in the genus Polyxenus and likely to be synonymous with the specimens identified as Polyxenus lagurus Linnaeus, 1758 in a previous study. This is just the second collection from Israel to be identified and brings the total number of Polyxenida species found in Israel to 8. All 3 families of Polyxenida are represented in this list, together with all 3 subfamilies of the most numerous family, Polyxenidae.
