Javan millipede (Remulopygus javanicus)

Javan millipede or keluwing or luwing (Remulopygus javanicus) is an animal species in Harpagophoridae, cylindrical and elongated, 150 mm long, 15 mm wide, consisting of 60 segments, each of which has two pairs of legs, black and brown with reddish legs.

R. javanicus has a round head with a size smaller than the body segments, the end segment at the tail has a reddish-brown tapered horn, a pair of reddish brown antennae, the whole body has a smooth and shiny surface.

Javan millipede moves slowly and when touched will quickly roll itself up with the legs placed on the inside. Keluwing is a herbivore, eating plants to get all the nutrients. including fruit, wood and dry leaves, but sometimes also parts of living plants.

Generally foraging at night, but sometimes found wandering around in the morning. Keluwing breed in burrows to lay eggs, after which the burrows are closed, then abandoned. They spend most of their time in underground pits and tunnels to rest.

Indian rosewood (Dalbergia latifolia)

Sonokeling or Java palisandre or Indian rosewood ( Dalbergia latifolia ) is a species of plant in the Fabaceae, a large tree producing hardwood, medium weight and high quality, rounded leaves, thin and broad pods, highly adaptive, grows in dry and rocky landscapes with lots of sunlight. D. latifolia has medium to large size, cylindrical stems, up to 40 m high with a ring of up to 2 m, the bark is brownish gray and slightly cracked longitudinally. The crown is dense, dome-shaped and sheds leaves. The leaves are compound and pinnate oddly with 5-7 strands that have different sizes and appear alternately on the shaft. The leaves are round or elongated in width or heart, the upper surface is green and the surface is pale green. The flowers are small, 0.5-1 cm long and clustered in panicles. The pods are green to brown when ripe and are elongated lanceolate, pointed at the base and tip. The pods have 1-4 seeds which are soft and brownish. Indian rosewood grows at elevations below 600 m,

Evolution theory goes beyond

OPINION - As a Wallacean and Darwinian, I have always viewed life from the perspective of evolutionism. I see the world of plants and animals always using evolutionary theories. How a species develops functional organs, forms morphology, adapts to ecosystems and so on as a natural laws. This perspective ultimately forms my framework for thinking about various things, including the way I see myself, everyday problems and the way I think about big things such as economics, geopolitics, war and so on using an evolutionary perspective. Alfred Russel Wallace, Charles Darwin and Jean-Baptiste Lamarck are three great figures who really inspired me. They are well known as pioneers of evolutionary theories. They start from small things in the sub-subject of biology, although they also discuss geology and so on. Wallace focused on species adaptation and Darwin on sexual selection. Both developed evolutionary thinking using observational methods. Lamarck focused on structural morphology using l
