Habitat prevails over host sex in influencing mycobiome structure of terrestrial isopod, Armadillidium vulgare [PDF]
Microbiology SpectrumThe terrestrial isopod, a crustacean order that has successfully transitioned from aquatic to land ecosystem, functions as a soil bioengineer and plays a crucial role in ecological decomposition.

Chaetophiloscia sicula Verhoeff, 1908 (Isopoda, Oniscidea), an invasive isopod currently spreading in North America [PDF]
ZooKeysChaetophiloscia sicula Verhoeff, 1908 (Philosciidae) is a small terrestrial isopod of Mediterranean origin which was first reported in North America in 2000 in an urban forest in Baltimore, Maryland, and it was thought to be a recent introduction, with a

A Novel Light‐Induced Collective Circular Movement in Armadillo sordidus Isopods [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionCollective movement in terrestrial isopods has rarely been documented and almost never discussed. Here, we report a novel behavioral phenomenon in isopods from the species Armadillo sordidus: large nocturnal aggregations forming coordinated circular ...

Marine-like isopod Heterosphaeroma priscum from the Late Paleocene freshwater system in Sézanne, France, revisited [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2020 Well-known for its Palaeocene terrestrial flora, the travertine deposit of Sézanne (Marne, Champagne, France) has also yielded a small number of well-preserved crustaceans, including isopods. In 1868, a single specimen of these isopods has been described

New Records of Fish Parasitic Isopods (Crustacea: Isopoda) from the Gulf of Thailand
Animals, 2020 From a total of 4140 marine fishes examined, eight species of parasitic isopods were reported from marine fishes in the Gulf of Thailand. These isopods were identified in two families, Corallanidae (Argathona macronema and Argathona rhinoceros) and ...

Long-read sequencing reveals atypical mitochondrial genome structure in a New Zealand marine isopod
Royal Society Open Science, 2022 Most animal mitochondrial genomes are small, circular and structurally conserved. However, recent work indicates that diverse taxa possess unusual mitochondrial genomes.
