Basal position of two new complete mitochondrial genomes of parasitic Cymothoida (Crustacea: Isopoda) challenges the monophyly of the suborder and phylogeny of the entire order [PDF]
Parasites and Vectors, 2018 Background Isopoda is a highly diverse order of crustaceans with more than 10,300 species, many of which are parasitic. Taxonomy and phylogeny within the order, especially those of the suborder Cymothoida Wägele, 1989, are still debated.

New occurrences, mean infestation intensity and prevalence of parasitic isopods (Isopoda, Cymothoida, Bopyridae) associated with Macrobrachium amazonicum (Decapoda, Palaemonidae) from the mouth of the Amazon River [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Veterinary ParasitologyThe Amazon prawn or Macrobrachium amazonicum (Heller, 1862) is widely distributed in South America, occurring in the Orinoco and Amazon rivers, and forms an important source of income for riverside families.

Description and ontogeny of a 40-million-year-old parasitic isopodan crustacean: Parvucymoides dvorakorum gen. et sp. nov. [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 A collection of exceptionally well-preserved fossil specimens of crustaceans, clearly representatives of Isopoda, is presented here. Excavated from the late Eocene (approximately 40 million years ago) freshwater sediments of the Trupelník hill field site

Architectural instability, inverted skews and mitochondrial phylogenomics of Isopoda: outgroup choice affects the long-branch attraction artefacts [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 The majority strand of mitochondrial genomes of crustaceans usually exhibits negative GC skews. Most isopods exhibit an inversed strand asymmetry, believed to be a consequence of an inversion of the replication origin (ROI). Recently, we proposed that an

Two new temporary ectoparasitic isopods (Cymothoida: Cymothooidea) from Korean waters with a note on geographical distributions of Rocinela Leach, 1818 and Gnathia Leach, 1814 [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Two new species of temporary ectoparasitic isopods, Rocinela excavata sp. nov. and Gnathia obtusispina sp. nov., are reported from the southern Islands of the Korean Peninsula. Rocinela excavata sp. nov. is distinguishable from its related species by the

The complete mitochondrial genome of Cymothoa indica has a highly rearranged gene order and clusters at the very base of the Isopoda clade. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 As a result of great diversity in life histories and a large number of described species, taxonomic and phylogenetic uncertainty permeates the entire crustacean order of Isopoda.

A 125 million-year-old freshwater isopod shines new light on the origin of subterranean freshwater species [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceHere, 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
