Phylogeographic patterns of a lower intertidal isopod in the Gulf of California and the Caribbean and comparison with other intertidal isopods [PDF]
A growing body of knowledge on the diversity and evolution of intertidal isopods across different regions worldwide has enhanced our understanding on biological diversification at the poorly studied, yet vast, sea–land interface. High genetic divergences

New occurrence of Cirolana capricornica (Isopoda: Cirolanidae) from Epinephelus chlorostigma in Suez Governorate, Egypt [PDF]
Background and Aim: The isopods of the Crustacea are noteworthy. All marine, fresh, and brackish waterways at all depths are home to aquatic organisms. This order also includes species that live on land. This study aimed to report a new occurrence of the

A 125 million-year-old freshwater isopod shines new light on the origin of subterranean freshwater species [PDF]
Here, we report fossil isopods preserved in laminated oil-shale mudstone (dysodile) from the Lower Cretaceous of Lebanon (Lower Barremian, 125 Ma, Grès du Liban Alloformation, Jezzine District). Based on a variety of proxies, their palaeoenvironments are

Brooding Phylogenomics: Target-Capture Probe Sets for the Analysis of Ultraconserved Elements in the Peracarida. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Sequencing via target capture has been used to great effect in phylogenetic studies of organisms such as insects, arachnids and vertebrates. However, other taxa have received limited genomic attention despite their diversity and the intensity of research on such groups. Here, we describe generalised probe sets targeting ultraconserved elements

DNA barcoding of the supergiant isopods from Bathynomus kensleyi Lowry & Dempsey, 2006 (Cirolanidae) and a molecular biology comparison of B. jamesi Kou, Chen & Li, 2017 [PDF]
DNA was extracted from tissue samples from specimens of newly-collected Bathynomus kensleyi from Queensland and subsequently the COI and 16S rRNA sequences were successfully cloned. The holotype of B. kensleyi was also sampled for COI only. Comparison of

Cirolana phuketensis, a new species of marine isopod (Crustacea, Isopoda, Cirolanidae) from the Andaman Sea coast of Thailand [PDF]
Cirolana phuketensis sp. n. was collected from coral rubble from the Andaman sea coast of Thailand. C. phuketensis sp. n. is described and fully illustrated; C. phuketensis sp. n. can be recognized by the presence of transverse sutures on pereonites 2–4,
