Prefieren habitar en microh\u00e1bitats h\u00famedos y oscuros, encontr\u00e1ndose con frecuencia bajo rocas, troncos ca\u00eddos, la hojarasca o grietas de la tierra en una gran variedad de ecosistemas terrestres alrededor del mundo, desde selvas tropicales hasta regiones templadas. Aunque la picadura de algunas especies de mayor tama\u00f1o puede resultar dolorosa para los seres humanos debido a las toxinas inoculadas por sus forc\u00edpulas, la inmensa mayor\u00eda son inofensivas y act\u00faan como eslabones esenciales en la regulaci\u00f3n de las cadenas tr\u00f3ficas del mantillo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Chilopoda de Chile<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El estudio de este grupo en el pa\u00eds ha sido hist\u00f3ricamente escaso, discontinuo y parcializado, contando con solo 28 publicaciones registradas entre 1847 y 2017. La gran mayor\u00eda de las investigaciones se han centrado en la taxonom\u00eda (70.37%) y la distribuci\u00f3n (29.63%), existiendo un considerable vac\u00edo de conocimiento en \u00e1reas como la ecolog\u00eda, la etolog\u00eda y la biogeograf\u00eda. Pese al incremento significativo de publicaciones registrado a partir del a\u00f1o 2001 (que concentra casi el 50% de los trabajos totales), el inventario nacional de especies requiere actualizaci\u00f3n y a\u00fan existen importantes sesgos territoriales, con muy escasos muestreos en el extremo norte y en el sur austral del pa\u00eds (Vega-Rom\u00e1n et al. 2017).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Entre los quil\u00f3podos chilenos, las especies que han recibido mayor atenci\u00f3n son <strong><em>Akymnopellis chilensis<\/em><\/strong> y <strong><em>Scutigera coleoptrata<\/em><\/strong>. <em>A. chilensis<\/em> destaca por ser uno de los ciempi\u00e9s m\u00e1s conspicuos y caracter\u00edsticos de la fauna nativa debido a su gran tama\u00f1o y llamativa coloraci\u00f3n.
