Abstract
⺠We study consumption of introduced Mediterranean-oak litter by native millipedes. ⺠Introduced leaf litter is readily consumed by local Glomeris marginata population. ⺠Consumption takes place at equal or higher rates than on native leaf litter. ⺠Results do not indicate any adaptation of the diplopod species to local litter. ⺠Foreign leaf litter has no negative effect on the feeding activity of G. marginata.
