Cryptic diversity in the southern Appalachian Mountains: genetic data reveal that the red centipede, Scolopocryptops sexspinosus, is a species complex
RC Garrick, KE Newton, RJ Worthington - Journal of Insect Conservation, 2018 - Springer
Invertebrates can often persist in habitat patches too small to support larger, more mobile
taxa, and as such, they may be strong predictors of conservation priorities for vertebrates. In …
