Millipedes (Diplopoda) from Caves of Portugal

DOI: 10.4311/2013LSC0113 MILLIPEDES (DIPLOPODA) FROM CAVES OF PORTUGAL ANA SOFIA P.S. REBOLEIRA1 AND HENRIK ENGHOFF2 Abstract: Millipedes play an important role in the decomposition of organic matter in the subterranean environment. Despite the existence of several cave-adapted species of millipedes in adjacent geographic areas, their study has been largely ignored in Portugal. Over the last decade, intense fieldwork in caves of the mainland and the island of Madeira has provided new data about the distribution and diversity of millipedes. A review of millipedes from caves of Portugal is presented, listing fourteen species belonging to eight families, among which six species are considered troglobionts. The distribution of millipedes in caves of Portugal is discussed and compared with the troglobiont biodiversity in the overall Iberian Peninsula and the Macaronesian archipelagos.

International Journal of Myriapodology 7: 69–91. doi: 10.3897/ijm.7.3064 Abstract Introduced millipede species in the family Julidae are common in the U.S. but little is known about how they interact with other organisms, such as mites. To start to determine the nature of the relationship, millipedes were sampled from across the eastern U.S.A. and the United Kingdom in 2008–2009. Sixteen morphospecies of mites (Acari: Astigmata, Mesostigmata) were collected from these millipedes, 12 of which from a total of 13 species of julid millipedes. None of these 12 species was restricted to a single host species. However, 12 of the 16 mite species collected were restricted to either the U.S.A. or the U.K. These results are consistent with locality, rather than host, specificity.

A new genus of the julid tribe Brachyiulini, Enghophyllum gen. nov., is described, comprising two species from Greece. The type-species, E. naxium (Verhoeff, 1901) comb. nov. (ex Megaphyllum Verhoeff, 1894), appears to be rather widespread in the Aegean: it is known from Antiparos Island and Naxos Island (the type locality), both in the Cyclades, as well as East Mavri Islet, Dodecanese Archipelago (new record). The vulva of E. naxium is described for the first time. In addition,E. sifnium gen. et sp. nov. is described based on a single adult male from Sifnos Island, Cyclades. The new genus is distinct from other genera of the Brachyiulini mainly by its peculiar gonopod structure, apparently disjunct and at least mostly apomorphous: (1) promeres broad, shield-like, in situ protruding mostly posteriad, completely covering the opisthomeres and gonopodal sinus; (2) transverse muscles and coxal apodemes of promere fully reduced; (3) opisthomere with three differentiated processes, i.e., lateral, basal posterior and apical posterior; (4) solenomere rather simple, tubular.

Some Aspects of the Ecology of Millipedes (Diplopoda) Thesis
Some Aspects of the Ecology of Millipedes (Diplopoda) Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Monica A. Farfan, B.S. Graduate Program in Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology The Ohio State University 2010 Thesis Committee: Hans Klompen, Advisor John W. Wenzel Andrew Michel Copyright by Monica A. Farfan 2010 Abstract The focus of this thesis is the ecology of invasive millipedes (Diplopoda) in the family Julidae. This particular group of millipedes are thought to be introduced into North America from Europe and are now widely found in many urban, anthropogenic habitats in the U.S. Why are these animals such effective colonizers and why do they seem to be mostly present in anthropogenic habitats? In a review of the literature addressing the role of millipedes in nutrient cycling, the interactions of millipedes and communities of fungi and bacteria are discussed. The presence of millipedes stimulates fungal growth while fungal hyphae and bacteria positively effect feeding intensity and nutrient assimilation efficiency in millipedes. Millipedes may also utilize enzymes from these organisms. In a continuation of the study of the ecology of the family Julidae, a comparative study was completed on mites associated with millipedes in the family Julidae in eastern North America and the United Kingdom. The goals of this study were: 1. To establish what mites are present on these millipedes in North America 2. To see if this fauna is the same as in Europe 3. To examine host association patterns looking specifically for host or habitat specificity.

United States National Museum ^^*fr?*5j Bulletin 212 CHECKLIST OF THE MILLIPEDS OF NORTH AMERICA By RALPH V. CHAMBERLIN Department of Zoology University of Utah RICHARD L. HOFFMAN Department of Biology Virginia Polytechnic Institute SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION • WASHINGTON, D. C. • 1958 Publications of the United States National Museum The scientific publications of the National Museum include two series known, respectively, as Proceedings and Bulletin. The Proceedings series, begun in 1878, is intended primarily as a medium for the publication of original papers based on the collections of the National Museum, that set forth newly acquired facts in biology, anthropology, and geology, with descriptions of new forms and revisions of limited groups. Copies of each paper, in pamphlet form, are distributed as published to libraries and scientific organizations and to specialists and others interested in the different subjects. The dates at which these separate papers are published are recorded in the table of contents of each of the volumes. The series of Bulletins, the first of which was issued in 1875, contains separate publications comprising monographs of large zoological groups and other general systematic treatises (occasionally in several volumes), faunal works, reports of expeditions, catalogs of type specimens, special collections, and other material of similar nature. The majority of the volumes are octavo in size, but a quarto size has been adopted in a few in- stances. In the Bulletin series appear volumes under the heading Contribu- tions from the United States National Herbarium, in octavo form, published by the National Museum since 1902, which contain papers relating to the botanical collections of the Museum.

Brachyiulus Lusitanus Verhoeff, 1898 New for the UK from the Eden Project (Diplopoda: Julida: Julidae)
Bulletin of the British Myriapod & Isopod Group Volume 33 (2021) Brachyiulus lusitanus Verhoeff, 1898 new for the UK from the Eden Project (Diplopoda: Julida: Julidae) Steve J. Gregory 4 Mount Pleasant, Church Street, East Hendred, Oxfordshire OX12 8LA, UK. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The millipede Brachyiulus lusitanus Verhoeff, 1898 was first reported new for the UK from the Eden Project, Cornwall in 2009 based on a single male specimen. Subsequently, additional material has been collected. A brief description with figures is provided to enable identification and details of habitats and microsites inhabited is given. This widespread European species is probably a recent colonist to Eden Project, aided by human activity, and additional British sites may await discovery. Key words: Julida, Julidae, Brachyiulus lusitanus, new for UK, identification. Introduction Eight species of Brachyiulus are known in Europe (Kime & Enghoff, 2017), but until 2009 just a single species, Brachyiulus pusillus (Leach, 1815), was recorded in Britain and Ireland and known to be widespread and relatively common (Lee, 2006). Being of characteristic appearance it was often identified in the field by experienced recorders, without microscopic examination. However, in 2009 a second species of identical appearance, Brachyiulus lusitanus Verhoeff, 1898, was recorded by Helen Read from the outdoor educational/ornamental gardens of the Eden Project, Cornwall (17.iv.2009, SX0455, VC1) during BMIG’s annual field meeting to the county (Barber, Gregory & Lee, 2010). This initial record was based on a single male specimen, confirmed by Henrik Enghoff. Subsequently, both B. lusitanus and B. pusillus have been recorded from the Eden Project on several occasions by the author and others.
