A mysterious line where two millipede species meet has been mapped in northwest Tasmania, Australia. Both species are common in their respective ranges, but the two millipedes cross very little into each other's territory.

Last week the International Journal of Myriapodology published the first population genetic study of cave millipedes.

The world's only bioluminescent millipedes use their glow as a warning signal to nocturnal predators, a University of Arizona-led research team has discovered.

New research has looked in detail at millipede development and the internal reorganization needed to produce functional gonopods.
