Most millipedes have very elongated cylindrical or flattened bodies with more than 20 segments, while pill millipedes are shorter and can roll into a tight ball. Although the name "millipede" derives from Latin for "thousand feet", no species was known to have 1,000 or more until the discovery in 2020 of Eumillipes persephone , which can have ...
The thousand legs house (Indonesian: Rumah kaki seribu) is the traditional house of the Arfak people who reside in Manokwari Regency, West Papua. [1] The house is dubbed "Thousand Legs" because it uses many supporting poles underneath, so when seen, it has many legs like a millipede. Meanwhile, its roof is made of straw or sago leaves.

[24] [20] Thus, Ernst Mayr in 1968 defined "beta taxonomy" as the classification of ranks higher than species. [ 25 ] An understanding of the biological meaning of variation and of the evolutionary origin of groups of related species is even more important for the second stage of taxonomic activity, the sorting of species into groups of ...
A library bookshelf in Hong Kong classified using the New Classification Scheme for Chinese Libraries, an adaptation of the Dewey Classification scheme. The Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) (Dewey pronounced: /do-e/), colloquially known as the Dewey Decimal System, is a proprietary library classification system which allows new books to be added to a library in their appropriate location ...

[1] The leaves are 7–15 centimetres (3–6 inches) long, and are oblong in shape with brown-hairy petioles2 cm (3 ⁄ 4 in) in length. [1]
