Bioluminescent aposematism in millipedes
Figure 1. Millipede luminescence and predation. (A) Motyxia sequoiae photographed in natural light, and (B) entirely with light from bioluminescence; (C) Mean proportion of millipedes attacked versus luminescence. Number of individuals attacked above bars; (D) Rodent incisor marks in clay millipede; (E) Live millipede (arrow) with anterior segments 1–14 missing after predator attack. Biolumines...
متن کاملMillipedes of Cyprus (Myriapoda: Diplopoda).
The paper presents an annotated catalogue of the millipedes (Diplopoda) of Cyprus, based on literature scrutiny and on hitherto unpublished material. A total of 21 species belonging to 14 genera, 9 families and 7 orders are recorded from the island. Three species are regarded as new to science, but are not formally described, and the status of another three is yet to be clarified. Pachyiulus cy...
متن کاملA Müllerian mimicry ring in Appalachian millipedes.
Few biological phenomena provide such an elegant and straightforward example of evolution by natural selection as color mimicry among unrelated organisms. By mimicking the appearance of a heavily defended aposematic species, members of a second species gain protection from predators and, potentially, enhanced fitness. Mimicking a preexisting warning advertisement is economical because a potenti...
متن کاملStudies in diurnal rhythms. I. Rhythmic behaviour in millipedes.
In recent years the phenomenon of 24 hr. periodicity in animals has attracted considerable attention. Diurnal rhythms have been reviewed by Welsh (1938), Park (1940) and Calhoun (1944), and present many interesting physiological and ecological problems. It is evident that they are common and manifest in diverse ways. Park, Lockett & Myers (1931), in a short study of nocturnal ecology among fore...
متن کاملA remarkable case of mosaic parapatry in millipedes
The parapatric boundary between Tasmaniosoma compitale Mesibov, 2010 and Tasmaniosoma hickmanorum Mesibov, 2010 (Polydesmida: Dalodesmidae) in northwest Tasmania was mapped in preparation for field studies of parapatry and speciation. Both millipede species can be collected as adults throughout the year, are often abundant in eucalypt forest and tolerate major habitat disturbance. The parapatri...
