Myriapoda (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Myriapoda is a subphylum of arthropods containing millipedes, centipedes, and others. The group contains 13,000 species, all of which are terrestrial. Although their name suggests they have myriad legs, myriapods range from having over 750 legs to having fewer than ten legs. The fossil record of myriapods reaches back into the late Silurian, although molecular evidence suggests a diversification in the Cambrian Period, and Cambrian fossils exist which resemble myriapods
