Which brings us back to gonopods.

这将我们带回生殖肢这个话题。

And even with 12,000 species of millipedes, no two varieties of gonopods are exactly the same.

虽然有12000种马陆，但没有两种生殖肢是完全相同的。

Fortunately, the critters evolved a solution: elaborate male gonopods—literally " genital feet" —with all manner of branches, bumps and bristles.

幸运的是， 这些小动物进化出了一个解决方案：精致的雄性生殖足类动物——字面意思是“生殖足”——有各种各样的树枝、突起和刚毛。

" We need pictures of the male gonopods, and we need them online, and we need them fast! " So that scientists can help millipedes keep the soil healthful, for them and for us.

“我们需要雄性生殖足类动物的照片， 我们需要它们在线，我们需要它们很快！ ” 这样科学家们就可以帮助千足虫保持土壤健康， 为他们和我们。
