Introduction to Millipedes

An Introduction to the World of Millipedes

Millipedes have a long and distinguished history on our planet, spanning over 400 million years.  Their ecological importance is immense: the health and survival of every deciduous forest depends on them, as they are one of the prime mechanical decomposers of wood and leaf litter, especially in the tropics.

Below is an Introduction to the study of millipedes in several languages, available as a downloadable pdf files. If you are willing to translate the Introduction into a language we do not yet have represented here, please contact Petra Sierwald.
