Most current research on millipedes centers around biological sciences and environmental sciences, such as community changes [2][3][4].

The analysis of several H. cinnamomeoventris individuals from different locations showed a consistent

It is not surprising that the alkaloids found in poison frogs can also be detected from ants, and most of them show remarkable bioactivities [2][3]. For example, formicine ants have been shown to be an arthropod source of the pumiliotoxin
