Magdalena Rost–Roszkowska, Łukasz Chajec, Dalibor Z. Stojanović, Dragan Antić

The middle endodermal region of the digestive system (midgut) of arthropods is responsible for processes related to digestion but is also considered an organ participating in homeostasis maintenance. Therefore, many experimental studies, for example, related to the effect of various stressors on …

Scenting Ketones in the Defense Glands of Two Julids From the Caucasus (Arthropoda, Myriapoda, Diplopoda, Julida)

Slobodan E. Makarov, Ljubodrag Vujisić, Günther Raspotnig, Dragan Antić et autres

Millipedes have developed specialized chemical defenses against predators and parasites. Here we investigated the strong repellent odour emitted by two julids from the Caucasus, Syrioiulus continentalis (Attems, 1903) and Pachyiulus krivolutskyi Golovatch, 1977. By NMR and GC-MS, as well as compound synthesis, …

Redescription of the poorly known Allopodoiulus schioedtei (Verhoeff, 1898) and the identity of Xestoiulus luteus (Attems, 1951) (Diplopoda: Julida: Julidae)

Dragan Antić, Dalibor Z. Stojanović, Mirko Šević, Nesrine Akkari

Based on old type material and freshly collected specimens, we evaluate and clarify the taxonomic status of two poorly known Balkan species, Allopodoiulus schioedtei (Verhoeff, 1898) and Xestoiulus luteus (Attems, 1951), and propose their synonymy with X. luteus syn. nov. as a …

Parental care in Stenotaenia rhodopensis (Kaczmarek, 1970) (Chilopoda: Geophilomorpha)

Amna M. Gedged, Dalibor Z. Stojanović, Dragan Antić, Jelena Vranković et autres

The females of the geophilomorph centipede Stenotaenia rhodopensis (Kaczmarek, 1970) guard the eggs and young by wrapping their bodies around the brood so that the ventral side is exposed to the outside.This observation confirms the basal division of the Geophilomorpha into Placodesmata …

Natural history collections help resurrecting Glomeris herzogowinensis Verhoeff, 1898 and further clarify the nomenclature of two Onychoglomeris subspecies of Attems (Diplopoda, Glomerida, Glomeridae)

Dragan Antić, Thomas Wesener‍, Nesrine Akkari

Based on the study of freshly-collected material and old museum specimens, we have solved a decades-old riddle surrounding the nameOnychoglomeris herzogowinensis(Verhoeff, 1898). The southern Dinaric coastal speciesGlomeris herzogowinensisVerhoeff, 1898 is revived, whileOnychoglomeris herzogowinensis australisAttems, 1935 andO. h. mediaAttems, 1935, are treated here …

Alkaloid chemistry in pill-millipedes: Defensive secretion in two species of Typhloglomeris Verhoeff, 1898 (Diplopoda, Glomerida, Glomeridellidae)

Michaela Bodner, Dragan Antić, Zvezdana Jovanović, Günther Raspotnig et autres

Abstract Millipedes of the order Glomerida are known to produce quinazolinone alkaloids as defensive substances. However, chemical data are rather scarce and all hitherto available publications refer to a single glomeridan family, the Glomeridae. To contribute to the knowledge of the chemical …

Temperature variation in caves and its significance for subterranean ecosystems

María J. Medina-Pascual, Dragan Antić, Paulo A. V. Borges, Špela Borko et autres

Climate change affects all ecosystems, but subterranean ecosystems are repeatedly neglected from political and public agendas. Cave habitats are home to unknown and endangered species, with low trait variability and intrinsic vulnerability to recover from human-induced disturbances. We studied the annual variability …
