The monophyly and the classification of the terrestrial isopods (Crustacea, Isopoda, Oniscidea)

Travaux de l'Institut de Speologie Emile Racovitza, 2020
In accordance with our previous opinions (Tabacaru and Danielopol, 1996, 1999; Tabacaru and Giurginca, 2014, 2019), we argue again the monophyly of Oniscidea one of the well-defined suborders of the Order Isopoda.

THE LONG TRAIL: A CHIMERA-LIKE FOSSIL CRUSTACEAN INTERPRETED AS DECAPODA, STOMATOPODA, AMPHIPODA AND FINALLY ISOPODA

Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2021
The process of interpreting and evaluating a fossil is a difficult task. Isopoda is a species rich group of peracarid eumalacostracans which represent quite a challenge when found as fossils, independent of whether we are working with fragmentary or more

Shedding light on the parasite communities and diet of the deep‐sea shark Deania profundorum (Smith & Radcliffe, 1912) (Squaliform: Centrophoridae) from the Avilés Canyon (southern Bay of Biscay)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Deep‐sea elasmobranchs are less resilient to the increasing scale of anthropogenic impacts such as fisheries, owing to their life‐history traits. The necessity for proper management measures is hampered by the scant knowledge on these taxa and their biology. Here we provide the first comprehensive insight into the parasite infracommunities and

New occurrence of Cirolana capricornica (Isopoda: Cirolanidae) from Epinephelus chlorostigma in Suez Governorate, Egypt [PDF]

Veterinary World
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

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.

Filter feeders living on suspension feeders: New insights into the lifestyle and distribution of Arcturidae Dana, 1849 (Crustacea: Isopoda) around Iceland

Marine Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract The focus of the present study was on arcturid isopods occurring in the subarctic region around Iceland. Data from two decades of sampling with an epibenthic sledge (EBS) during numerous expeditions of the BIOICE (Benthic Invertebrates of Icelandic Waters; 1992–2004) and IceAGE (Icelandic marine Animals: Genetics and Ecology; 2011—ongoing ...

Restoration tools and strategies for afforested Mediterranean coastal grasslands: is eucalypt removal alone enough to kickstart ecosystem recovery?

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Afforestation with non‐native trees has profoundly altered coastal dune grasslands worldwide, creating persistent ecological legacies that constrain ecosystem recovery. Objectives We evaluated the cost‐effectiveness of two restoration approaches, distinguished by their respective demands for resource investment: Moderately ...

The first known troglomorphic, eyeless spider wasp (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae): Troglopompilus miracaecatus gen. et sp. nov. from the Nullarbor Caves, Western Australia

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract Surveys of caves of the Nullarbor Plain, Western Australia, revealed a remarkable assemblage of exceptionally well‐preserved mummified arthropods, comprising Araneae, Blattodea, Coleoptera and Chilopoda, all of which exhibit high levels of troglomorphism, lacking eyes and showing a number of other adaptations.

Evaluation of Fish and Macroinvertebrate Indices of Biotic Integrity in the Bioassessment of the Illinois River Basin [PDF]

, 2010
Evaluating performances of the fish and invertebrate Indices of Biotic Integrity (IBIs) for a region is important to maintain rigorous assessment of the environmental quality of streams, especially with increasing urbanization. Timing of the assessment
