Locally differentiated cryptic pigmentation in the freshwater isopod Asellus aquaticus
, 2005 A repeated pattern of background colour matching in animals is an indication that pigmentation may be cryptic. Here, we examine the relationship between pigmentation of the freshwater isopod Asellus aquaticus and background darkness in 29 lakes, wetlands

Predators and resources influence phosphorus transfer along an invertebrate food web through changes in prey behaviour. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Predators play a fundamental role in prey trophic behaviour, with indirect consequences for species coexistence and ecosystem functioning. Resource quality and availability also influence prey trophic behaviour, with potential effects on predator-prey ...

SIMPLE DNA REPEATS AND SEX-CHROMOSOME DIFFERENTIATION IN ASELLUS-AQUATICUS (CRUSTACEA, ISOPODA)
, 1995 The crustacean isopod species Asellus aquaticus does not usually have recognizable sex chromosomes. We previously identified a Y chromosome marked by two heterochromatic bands in some males of a population from the Sarno river near Naples. In this work

The role of isolation on contrasting phylogeographic patterns in two cave crustaceans
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2017 Background The underlying mechanisms and processes that prompt the colonisation of extreme environments, such as caves, constitute major research themes of evolutionary biology and biospeleology.

Contemporary parallel diversification, antipredator adaptations and phenotypic integration in an aquatic isopod. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 It is increasingly being recognized that predation can be a strong diversifying agent promoting ecological divergence. Adaptations against different predatory regimes can emerge over short periods of time and include many different traits.
