Morphological variance in cave and surface populations of Asellus aquaticus challenges the fluctuating selection and greater male variability hypotheses

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
IntroductionFluctuating selection, the changes in the strength and/or direction of natural selection stemming from fine-scale spatio-temporal environmental variation, is a fundamental, yet rarely tested explanation for the maintenance of phenotypic ...

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.

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.

Beyond species diversity: Functional responses of cave arthropods to microclimatic stability and structural complexity

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Species richness declined along cave microclimatic gradient, while diversity increased with habitat heterogeneity, highlighting distinct roles of abiotic conditions and structural complexity in shaping arthropod communities. Functional traits shifted along the microclimatic gradient, with larger‐bodied and more eye‐regressed arthropods dominating under

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

Nest boxes as microhabitats supporting diverse arthropod communities

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Diverse Micro‐Habitats: Nest boxes supported 3634 arthropods from 82 families, highlighting their significant conservation value as artificial micro‐habitats for diverse invertebrate communities beyond their primary use for birds. Occupancy Boosts Diversity: Occupied nests exhibited significantly higher arthropod richness, abundance and Shannon ...

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.

I. On the development of the parasitic isopoda [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London, 1878
Abstract The paper contains an account of some points in the development of the Cymothoa œstroides and C. parallela of Milne-Edwards. The work was mainly carried on in the Zoological Station at Naples, and the author takes this opportunity of returning his best thanks to Dr. Dohrn and Dr. Eisig for the kind way in which they forwarded

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 ...
