Download or read book The Millipedes Diplopoda of the Asian Part of Russia written by Elena V. Mikhaljova and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a complete synopsis of the millipede fauna of Asian Russia, the vast Palaearctic area extending from the Ural Mountains in the west to the Pacific coast and adjacent islands in the east. The fauna, which has no fewer than 103 species, 39 genera, 17 families, and five orders, is reviewed and summarised. A historical account, a review of the morphology and ecology of the millipedes in the region, and zoogeographical notes are provided. Illustrated descriptions and diagnoses of, as well as keys to, all main millipede taxa recorded in the Asian part of Russia are included. In addition, all available data on the taxonomy and distribution of the regions Diplopoda are summarised. Dr E. V. Mikhaljova works at the Institute of Biology and Soil Science, Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Vladivostok, Russia. The book reflects her lifetime experience with the systematics, biology, ecology and distribution of Asian Diplopoda. Despite certain inavoidable lacunae, this work allows the millipede faunas of Siberia and the Russian Far East to be ranked among the best known in the world, let alone Asia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The milliped fauna of Mexico and Central America is very poorly known. The present checklist has been prepared to overcome some of the difficulties of studying the millipeds of these countries, as presented by the dispersed literature and lack of bibliographies to it. In general, the checklist follows the arrangement of the Checklist of the Millipeds of North America, and adopts the basic classification system proposed by R.V. Chamberlain and R. L. Hoffman on pages 7 and 8, except as altered later by the junior author to combine the orders Spirostreptida and Cambalida, with the latter reduced to a suborder. Keys to all classification categories through families have been included here.

Book excerpt: "Wildlife in a Changing World" presents an analysis of the 2008 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Beginning with an explanation of the IUCN Red List as a key conservation tool, it goes on to discuss the state of the world s species and provides the latest information on the patterns of species facing extinction in some of the most important ecosystems in the world, highlighting the reasons behind their declining status. Areas of focus in the report include: freshwater biodiversity, the status of the world s marine species, species susceptibility to climate change impacts, the Mediterranean biodiversity hot spot, and broadening the coverage of biodiversity assessments."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biodiversity is declining at an alarming rate due to anthropogenic activities around the world. This book is the first volume in the new series Biodiversity Hotspots of the World, which highlights the 36 hotspot regions of the world, regions that were designated as reaping maximum benefit from preservation efforts. This series is our humble attempt to document these hotspots as a conservation and preservation measure. This first volume in the series focuses on the Western Ghats and Sri Lanka, construed as forming a community of species because of their shared biogeographical history. The volume explores the diversity and conservation efforts of the extraordinarily rich species found here, including plants, many of which are found nowhere else in the world; forests, which face tremendous population pressure and have been dramatically impacted by demands for timber and agricultural land; as well as the hotspot’s diverse mammals, birds, insects, and amphibian species, and more. The volumes in this series will be essential resources for researchers and practitioners in the fields of conservation biology, ecology, and evolution.
Download or read book Higher level Systematics of the Millipedes Arthropoda Myriapoda Diplopoda Evaluated Using Transcriptomic Data Mitochondrial Genomics and Classification Analyses written by Michael Scott Brewer and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowledge of deep level phylogenetic relationships within and between many animal groups is currently lacking. Past attempts to reconstruct these ancient evolutionary relationships once relied chiefly on morphological characters and consequently suffered from deficiencies inherent to these data (homoplasy, few diagnostic characters, etc.). Advances in molecular biology over the last 20 years (namely PCR and high-throughput sequencing) have provided a whole other facet of potential characters via a vast array of loci, both nuclear and mitochondrial, which represent unlinked regions spanning entire genomes. The class Diplopoda (the millipedes) is a diverse group, 12,000 described species, which has suffered a long and convoluted taxonomic and systematic history. Containing many overinflated groups (numerous monotypic taxa) while other groups are vastly understudied, the current scheme of classification does not reflect the evolutionary history of the group but instead exists primarily for identification purposes. A classification constructed in such a manner can be characterized as an "unnatural classification". This work represents an attempt to: 1) ascertain the uniformity of millipede taxa at the ordinal level by evaluating species diversity contained in higher taxa (orders, families, genera); 2) achieve a robust and empirically derived estimate of millipede global diversity; 3) reconstruct the higher level relationships among all major millipede taxa using genomic scale molecular data; 4) map the ancestral states of key millipede characteristics; and 5) date the divergences of major diplopod lineages. Full mitochondrial genomes and transcriptomic data obtained via second-generation sequencing for exemplar taxa representing the ordinal taxa were used to reconstruct the relationships between the higher millipede taxa. Our work uncovered interesting and potentially alarming trends in millipede taxonomy. Additionally, we demonstrated the utility, or lack thereof, of using mitochondrial sequence data to reconstruct deep evolutionary relationships. Transcriptomic data analyses yielded well- supported trees containing relationships that have not been suggested previously. The transcriptome-based phylogeny was used to reconstruct the evolutionary changes of key millipede characteristics and, consequently, to assess their utility in delineating millipede taxa. This information provides a basis for future work within the Diplopoda including but not limited to: character evolution, biogeography, divergence time estimations, and comparative genomics.
