Currently, the alternative forms of management are increasingly applied in agriculture. Although their less negative impact on environment is generally supposed, there is still a lack of a reliable data about their real favourability for the abundance and diversity of soil invertebrates, including millipedes. Therefore, the aim of our study was to find out, whether the form of agricultural management affects the structure of millipede communities and hence, the performance of their functions in soil ecosystems. The research was carried out using pitfall trapping through growing seasons 2005 to 2007 on the model territory of Agricultural Cooperative (AC) Očová (Central Slovakia). Millipedes were captured at four pairs of sites (8 sites in total). The same cultivated crop (wheat, barley, alfalfa or permanent law) with application of two different forms of agricultural management (conventional form and sustainable form with basic sustainable agro-environmental scheme) was characteristic of each pair of sites. The research results disclosed that the management form plays a significant role, especially in such agrocoenoses, in which the same crop is cultivated for several years (e.g. sites with alfalfa or permanent lawn), i.e., on the sites without ploughing or other similar agrotechnical measures. In these cases, the sites with the sustainable agro-environmental scheme had higher species richness (8 and 9 species) and higher total abundance of millipede communities (2.2 and 5.7 ind. collected per one day and one trap) than the sites with the conventional form of agrotechnical management (5 and 5 species, 0.09 and 0.3 ind. collected per one day and one trap). In order to obtain a more detailed knowledge about the impact of agricultural management forms on millipede communities, this kind of research should be carried out in different conditions (other crops, soil conditions, climate zones, etc.) as well.
Nannorrhacus parvus sp. n. from Martinique, only the 2nd congener, is just the 4th species of the family Platyrhacidae to be found in the Antilles. It differs from N. luciae (Pocock, 1894), from St. Lucia, Lesser Antilles, by the following characters: a smaller size; presence of 3 or 2 transverse rows of larger setigerous tubercles on collum and postcollum metaterga, respectively; absence of areations on metaterga; far more strongly tuberculate lateral edges of paraterga; ventrolateral location of ozopores; underdeveloped pleurosternal carinae; and shorter and stouter gonopods.
Two new, obviously high-montane, forest-dwelling species of the large eastern Palaearctic genus Epanerchodus are described from China: E. belousovi sp. п., from Sichuan, and E. typicus sp. п., from Yunnan. Both differ from congeners chiefly by certain details of gonopod structure.
Considering the discovery of a new cave-dwelling species in northeastern Brazil, the Neotropical millipede genus Phaneromerium Verhoeff, 1941 currently encompasses ten species, all keyed. P. cavernicolum sp. nov. from Bahia, Brazil is mainly characterised by some traits of troglomorphism and certain details of gonopod structure.
In the Natura 2000 Habitats Directive site „Huy nördlich Halberstadt" in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, 11 sites with typical regional plant associations (2 rupicolous calcareous or basophilic grasslands of the Alysso-Sedion albi, 2 semi-natural dry grasslands and scrubland facies on calcareous substrates, 3 Asperulo-Fagetum beech forests, 1 Medio-European limestone beech forest of the Cephalanthero-Fagion and 3 Galio-Carpinetum oak-hornbeam forests) were sampled for millipedes and centipedes using pitfall traps over a period of one and a half years. In addition 11 further sites and different microhabitats were investigated using hand sampling, soil cores and sieving. With a total of 30 diplopod and 17 chilopod species, the Huy can be classified as markedly species rich. The community structures and species compositions were of special importance and characteristic for all sites. Ecologically notable species were Ophiodesmus albonanus (Latzel, 1895), Megaphyllum unilineatum (C.L. Koch 1838), Brachyiulus pusillus (Leach, 1814), Mycogona germanica (Verhoeff, 1892), Polyxenus lagurus Linne, 1758, Geophilus electricus (Linné, 1758), Lithobius nodulipes Latzel, 1880 and Lithobiuspelidnus Haase, 1880.
The influence of the site factors related to soil, forest stand and litter as well as to altitude, exposure and slope - on the composition/abundance structure of millipede communities (Diplopoda) was estimated. The research was carried out in 1999 to 2002 in 13 mixed oakhornbeam forest stands in Malé Karpaty Mts. (South-Western Slovakia) ranged from 132 to 768 m a.s.l. In each locality, millipedes were collected by sieving of the litter taken at monthly intervals from 16 quadrates (25  25 cm) in each site. The redundancy analysis was applied. The most apparent influence on the community structure was ascertained for pH-value of litter and age of forest stand. Nitrogen content in litter was the most important factor, influencing the species richness of the millipede assemblages in studied sites.
