CONTRIBUTIONS TO DISTRIBUTION OF TURKISH FRESHWATER ISOPODS (CRUSTACEA: ISOPODA)

open access: yesTrakya University Journal of Natural Sciences, 2016
This study was carried out to contribute to distribution of freshwater isopods in Marmara Region (including Gökçeada and Bozcaada islands) of Turkey. For this aim, it was evaluated the material which was sampled during the years 1991, and 1998-2002 in a ...

Size- and sex-related sensitivity differences of aquatic crustaceans to imidacloprid

open access: yesEcotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022
Field collected aquatic invertebrates are often used as test organisms in the refinement of the standard Tier 1 risk assessment of various pollutants. This approach can provide insights into the effects of pollutants on the natural environment.

Analiza histološke zgradbe in ultrastrukture filtrov v želodcu pri Proasellus coxalis (Isopoda, Asellota)

open access: yesActa Biologica Slovenica, 1980
S svetlobnim mikroskopom in stereoskanom smo preiska­li funkcionalno bistvene dele zelodca pri Proasellus coxalis. Ugotovili smo, da makrostruktura sprednjega in srednjega dela želodca kot tudi ultrastruktura filterskih na­ prav, ustreza strukturam pri ...

Phenotypic plasticity in response to the social environment: effects of density and sex ratio on mating behaviour following ecotype divergence. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
The ability to express phenotypically plastic responses to environmental cues might be adaptive in changing environments. We studied phenotypic plasticity in mating behaviour as a response to population density and adult sex ratio in a freshwater isopod (

Distribution, identification and range expansion of the common Asellidae in Northern Europe, featuring the first record of Proasellus meridianus in the Nordic countries

open access: yesFauna Norvegica, 2020
Two out of the three common Asellidae species in Northern Europe are increasing their ranges, aided by human activities. Here we report the discovery of Proasellus coxalis (Dollfuss 1892) in new areas in Norway and the discovery of Proasellus meridianus (
