Symphyla are tiny, fast-moving, unpigmented relatives of centipedes and millipedes, which feed on decaying organic matter and plant roots.

To my shame I've relented and returned to the bird site for soil biodiversity SciComm and career networking, however I plan to stay here too and keep fighting the good fight.

Symphylans (or ‘garden centipedes’) are Myriapods, making them distantly related to millipedes, centipedes and pauropods.
They're an absolute nightmare to photograph, as they rapidly run away when disturbed, e.g., when their favourite stone is turned over!

Here seems nice, so I wanted to post an #Introduction. I'm Russell, I work in #palaeontology / #palaeobiology at the University of Manchester, UK. I CT scan #fossils, think about terrestrialisation and #insect, #arachnid and #myriapod #phylogenetics, and I also do some computer simulation of evolution.
I often post about the fossil record of land #arthropods, but expect a smattering of other random thoughts.

It's time all Mastodon users found out about the unparalleled cuteness of baby millipedes! Click to treat yourself!
