Resources

Links to Myriapoda & Onychophora resources:

CIM - Centre International de Myriapodologie/ International Society for Myriapodology
This website highlights the activities of the CIM. It hosts the annual Newsletter, upcoming and previous congresses, a list of members, and a bibliographical database of publications on Myriapoda and Onychophora.

MilliBase
This website aims to capture all described species of Diplopoda, Pauropoda and Symphyla, the associated literature, the authorities and original descriptions of species, genera and all units of higher classification. MilliBase also strives to add secondary citations from the taxonomic and systematic literature for all taxa, as well as important ecological and physiological works focusing on specific diplopod models.

ChiloBase 2.0
This website offers a consistent, updated taxonomic catalogue of the centipedes (Chilopoda) of the world. It is based on a nomenclator of all genus- and species-level names compiled after gathering, critically evaluating and integrating +5000 taxonomic works.

Onychophora Website
This website offers general information about velvet worms, their distribution and conservation, as well as a species checklist and bibliography.

British Myriapod and Isopod Group (BMIG)
The BMIG website offers information on species of myriapods present in UK, identification keys, atlases, specimen collections, publications and more.

World Database of Littoral Myriapoda
A database of myriapods from the sea shore. It has a search engine, a photo gallery and a list of literature sources.

The Paleobiology Database
A public database of paleontological data that anyone can use, maintained by an international non-governmental group of paleontologists. You can explore the data online in the Navigator, which lets you filter fossil occurrences by time, space, and taxonomy, and displays their modern and paleogeographic locations; or you can download the data to your own computer to do your own analyses.

ChiloKey
This is an open access web-application, featuring an interactive identification key for the geophilomorph centipedes of Europe (Chilopoda, Geophilomorpha).

Zoological Research Museum Alexander Koenig, Section Myriapoda
The Section Myriapoda works on millipedes (Diplopoda) and centipedes (Chilopoda), as well as the smaller groups Symphyla and Pauropoda. The museum is located in Bonn, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

Milli-PEET: The class Diplopoda
With NSF support, Drs. Petra Sierwald, Jason E. Bond and William A. Shear developed a program to (a) advance millipede systematics, (b) train new millipede taxonomists, (c) develop tools to make millipedes more easily accessible for future research and (d) advance electronic forms of data capture of specimen collections and the original scientific millipede literature. The resulting resources can be found on the website of the Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, Illinois, USA.

Marek Lab
A lab at the Department of Entomology, Virginia Tech, Virginia, USA, focused on Diplopoda research: (1) systematics and taxonomy and (2) the evolutionary ecology of aposematic coloration and mimicry.

The Myriapods, the World’s Leggiest Animals
Dr. Rowland Shelley (†) maintained a website on North American Diplopoda, Chilopoda, and related information at http://www.nadiplochilo.com, from which it is no longer available. The site was migrated and the information can be accessed at:
