Biology of Millipedes
Millipedes are common components of the leaf-litter fauna of most terrestrial environments. This book is essential reading for terrestrial ecologists, zoologists, and students taking courses in invertebrate biology. The Biology of Millipedes is the first single-volume review of this important group and covers their ecology, behaviour, physiology, and evolution.
Later chapters review feeding and digestion, metabolism, nerves, and neurosecretion, together with all aspects of millipedes in decomposition processes, and their role as pests. Introductory chapters consider millipede taxonomy and phylogeny, basic anatomy, locomotion, and ecomorphology. The authors provide an extremely comprehensive bibliography of research papers and literature.
