(2026) Centipedes and millipedes under the snow in eastern and northern Japan. Edaphologia , 118: 1-16. 要約: The subnivean microhabitat (the air space between the ground and snow) is dark, relatively warm, humid, and thermally stable throughout winter, and protects organisms from wind and lethal temperatures. Although the winter activity of invertebrates has been studied in North America, Europe, and parts of northeast China, little is known about centipedes and millipedes under the snow in Japan. To clarify their winter activity, we set up pitfall traps at 11 sites with heavy snowfall in the cold regions of eastern and northern Japan . Ten pitfall traps were set up at each study site from October to April in 2017–2020 (two winter seasons at one site). A to...
