Abstract:

Abstract: Introduced (or exotic) species are any taxa living outside their native range. The ecological impact of these species is highly variable although many have altered, at the ecosystem level, biological communities and their native fauna. Millipeds (Diplopoda) are known to have arrived into many nonnative sites via potted plants and compost from greenhouses. Here, we provide a summary of the introduced millipeds of Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas.

Resumen: Las especies introducidas (o exóticas) son cualquier taxón que vive fuera de su rango nativo. El impacto ecológico de estas especies es muy variable, aunque muchas han alterado las comunidades biológicas y su fauna nativa a la escala de ecosistema. Se sabe que los milpiés (Diplopoda) han llegado a muchos sitios no nativos a través de plantas en macetas y composta de invernaderos. Aquí, ofrecemos un resumen de los milpiés introducidos en Arkansas, Luisiana, Oklahoma y Texas.
