The body of millipedes consists of a head and a largely homonomous trunk composed of
units generally called diplosegments or rings. Most trunk rings are typically equipped with …

Benzoquinones are usually present in arthropod defence exudates. Here, we describe the
chemical profiles of 12 harvestman species belonging to the neotropical family …

The secretions from serial defensive glands of the Austrian diplopod Allajulus dicentrus
(Julidae, Cylindroiulini) were extracted and analyzed by means of gas chromatography …

The chemical defence of the millipede Pachyiulus hungaricus is reported in the present
paper, in which a chemical characterization is given and antimicrobial activity is determined …

Diplopods are terrestrial arthropods important for the dynamics of terrestrial ecosystems.
One of the reasons for that can be their low predation rate due to their defensive secretion …

The defensive chemistry of juliformian millipedes is characterized mainly by benzoquinones
(” quinone millipedes”), whereas the secretions of the putative close outgroup Callipodida …

Cave animals live under highly constant ecological conditions and in permanent darkness,
and many evolutionary adaptations of cave-dwellers have been triggered by their specific …

Chemical substances are of utmost importance for the biotic interactions between animals
and their predators/parasites; many of these semiochemicals are emitted for defence …

In the light of growing interest in discovering new sources of natural antimicrobial agents, we
extracted and tested the efficiency of julid defensive secretions in comparison with …

Laboulbeniales is an order of more than 2000 species of small ascomycete fungi which are
ectoparasites of insects, millipedes and mites. They are often highly host-specific and often …
