you can get a free account and get access to these three free full text articles if you search for scolopendra (reviews to follow article headers)
incidentily, you have to click through to other host sites. i think it has to do with references and being like, legit documents. the free full text is there, tho

1) ROUGH read. HIGHLY technical. Don't bother unless you are CodeMonkey level
2)Good read. Low to Midlevel med speak, but if you are serious those are all basic terms you should know and learn. Very slightly rough translation of original spanish (er, or portuguese...), not a problem though. Best of the lot, to my tastes
3) Big 11 page pdf. Too high level for my brain. Walking study using myographs and lots of math. Biological reference, physics, and general knowledge level required to grok this are all high. Big Meaty Article though.[/QUOTE]

medical report on bite by Scolopendra spp. or Otostigmus spp. on 60yo man in (Turkey?)
ah, this is interesting because there is apparent systemic effect on the mans heart. the medspeak is medium. slightly too thick for me to figure out exactly what the possible effects of the venom on the man's heart could be.
ooh, coronary vasospasm = heart vessel spasm... that doesn't sound good.
bradycardia= ?
acute ischemic process = ?
there is a link to a BAD quality pic of the dead centi that bit the man
and EEG or ECG or some kind of grams.
after the specific case study on the man there is an interesting and more digestable like, summary of the state of centipede envenomation in medical science, which might make this article note worthy to some
edit:
oooh, i was in mayoclinic.com looking something up for my accident prone brother and came across something called an Tansient Ischemic Attack. it's uh, interesting to say the least
spread some Mayo please[/QUOTE]
heh, oops. that's leads to either taiwanese or trad. chinese. no use to me, but perhaps one of our friends who speaks (and recognizes the language) could review it
it tricked me cuz the abstract was in english
HOLD THE PHONE!
i downloaded the full text, hoping for pics... the first page is in, er, that other language... but there is ENGLISH TEXT!
IT IS A FREE CENTIPEDE BOOK!!!! I had to download a 7.7MB language module for adobe reader, but good grief, it looks to be worth it!
WAY too much info to read it all here... if you have a broadband i would suggest checking it out.

this paper is AWESOME!!!
OMG! there are pictures!
YOU MUST DOWNLOAD THIS PAPER! IT IS A FREE CENTIPEDE BOOK!
IT DETAILS PHYSIOLOGY, EVERYTHING!
EDIT:
ah nuts, Randolph has just informed me it is sort of outdated. There is still a lot of good basic info though, but maybe the species accounts aren't quite 100% modern and correct[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=cacoseraph;504940]i never new about google scholar, that thing is awesome
cool paper that seems to talk about a museum collection in Vienna
545kb 71 page pdf. primarily in english, there is some, er, european in there
no pics that i saw, but a lot of clear diagrams.
these seems to contain a bunch of random descriptions of species. i'm not sure it's a key, so much as a description of various centipepdes.
i want to compare Ethmostigmus trigonopodus description to my Tanzanian Blue-ringed... even though Vincent gave me the spiracles on segments 7+8 = Ethmostigmus, cuz no Scolopendra has spiracles on 7+8 short answer [/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=cacoseraph;526563]This isn't a paper, but it's got good info about Cryptops centipedes (specifically those of Tasmania, but good general info too)
Written at a very nice accessable level, while still containing lots of information. Recommended
coolness, Tasmania has the Crater centipedes!
Craterostigmomorpha
http://www.qvmag.tas.gov.au/zoolo...pedes/tascenti/cencra/cencra.html
craters are the legendary FIFTH form of centipedes!
(the "normal" four are Scutigeromorpha, Scolopendromorpha, Lithobiomorpha, and Geophilomorpha)[/QUOTE]
Randolph, could you look that over for accuracy?
I know one of the other ones was outdated... but i can't tell =P
wait a minute... this might *be* the other one... checking...
it's not, that i can tell. the other was massive pdf from a different site
this one is a webpage format
if i remember to i'll write up a better description next week (eek, no internet for the weekend)[/QUOTE]
i'll have to review this later... however... check this out

i am a tease!
one thing: there are NO pictures... but LOTS of info none-the-less[/QUOTE]
hopefully it will help me finnish [sic] superkey [/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=cacoseraph;815160]Article focusing on Scolopendra heros but with genereal centipede info.
There are a few technical issues (there are FIVE not, four orders of centipedes... Craterstigmomorpha was left out) but over all it is a good "fun" read. Also, i thought geophilomorpha gained legpairs with each molt but this says they are born with their full complement...
also, i appreciated this
"In the mid 1920s, Dr. Baerg tested the effect of the venom by inducing a centipede to bite one of his little fingers, leaving the fangs inserted for about four seconds. The bite was followed by a sharp and strictly local pain, which began to subside noticeably after about 15 minutes. In about two hours the pain was only very slight, but there was a general swelling in the finger. Three hours after the bite, most symptoms had disappeared."
There may be people who like centipedes. I have seen people handling tarantulas and scorpions, but never a centipede handler. I would regard such a person with deep suspicion...Now what sort of man or woman or monster would stroke a centipede on its underbelly "And here is my big good centipede." If such a man exists, I say kill him without more ado. He is a traitor to the human race.
