Advances in sequencing technologies and bioinformatics have led to breakthroughs in the study of virus biodiversity. Millipedes (Diplopoda, Myriapoda, Arthropoda) include more than 12,000 extant species, yet data on virus diversity in Diplopoda are scarce. This study aimed to explore the virome of the millipedes collected in the Dong Nai Biosphere Reserve in Vietnam.

- - Soil organisms play a crucial role in ecosystem functions by breaking down carbon and nutrients, directly impacting plant growth, biodiversity, and human nutrition.
- - While soil ecologists often use functional groups to analyze these organisms, there's a lack of comprehensive knowledge about the feeding habits of many soil taxa, despite advancements in molecular and biochemical tools over the past two decades.
- - The review synthesizes current knowledge on the feeding habits of various soil organisms, revealing that many traditionally defined functional groups exhibit omnivorous feeding patterns and interconnected trophic relationships, challenging existing models of soil food webs.
Cladocera (Crustacea: Branchiopoda) of South-East Asia have been intensively investigated over the last decades, but males and ephippial females of many taxa remain unknown or poorly studied. Males and ephippial females of ten species of Chydoridae were collected by monthly sampling of eight water bodies during autumn-winter dry season in Сat Tien National Park, South Vietnam. Morphology of studied specimens is described and taxonomic status of studied species is discussed.

The purpose of this study was to analyse the species composition of actinobacteria isolated from the digestive tract of the millipedes and to determine their antimicrobial properties. Species identification was carried out on the basis of the morphological and culture properties and the sequence of the 16S rRNA gene.
