Cellulose fermentation by the gut microbiota is likely not essential for the nutrition of millipedes

This study investigates whether gut microbiota fermentation is essential for millipede nutrition by disrupting microbiota in two species and analyzing metabolic and microbial responses.

Multidimensional trophic niche revealed by complementary approaches: gut content, digestive enzymes, fatty acids and stable isotopes in soil fauna

The paper uses four complementary methods to analyze the multidimensional trophic niche of soil springtails, revealing that different methods capture distinct feeding dimensions and that bacterial feeding may be more common than previously thought.
