Urbanization Effects on the Community Structure of Saproxylic Arthropods in Warm‐Temperate Japan

open access: yesEcological Research, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.
This study examined saproxylic arthropod communities in various landscapes, ranging from large to fragmented urban forests, and compared the structure and composition of these communities. The results showed that communities could be classified into three types based on species composition and that arthropod community types were correlated with forest ...

Isopods as sustainable resources for future feed and food systems

open access: yesCogent Food & Agriculture
This review examines the potential of isopods as sustainable alternative protein sources in response to increasing pressure on global food systems driven by population growth, climate change, and the environmental impacts of conventional livestock ...

Gold nanoparticles do not induce adverse effects on terrestrial isopods Porcellio scaber after 14-day exposure

open access: yesActa Biologica Slovenica, 2016
Despite the anticipated environmental release of anthropogenic gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), there is currently not enough data on their potential impact on terrestrial environment.

The Response of Terrestrial Arthropods to Natural and Anthropogenically Altered Disturbance and Stress Regimes in Riparian Zones: A Systematic Review

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Riparian zones are vital for biodiversity and are increasingly threatened by natural and human‐induced factors that disrupt their structure and function. Arthropods, as dominant terrestrial organisms in these habitats, are essential for ecosystem services, influencing connectivity between terrestrial and aquatic webs, and are sensitive ...

Widespread Association of Ciliates Colonizing Gills of Shrimps Inhabiting Vents and Seeps Across the Pacific Ocean

open access: yesJournal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Bacterial symbiosis is well‐documented in chemosynthesis‐based ecosystems, but associations with microeukaryotes remain overlooked. In this study, using scanning electron microscopy and 18S rDNA barcoding, we investigate the presence, diversity, and biogeographic patterns of ciliate epibionts associated with two deep‐sea caridean families ...

Habitat Isolation Influences Population Structure of Intertidal Crustaceans and Molluscs on Boulder‐Dominated Rocky Shores in SE Brazil

open access: yesMarine Ecology, Volume 47, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT On sheltered rocky shores in SE Brazil, variation in habitat configuration (non‐isolated vs. isolated boulders) acts as a natural exclusion experiment on a key isopod consumer, leading to potential interspecific competitive release. The semiterrestrial grazing isopod Ligia exotica forages almost exclusively on non‐isolated boulders, resulting ...

A new genus and species of terrestrial isopod (Isopoda: Oniscidea) found in Baltic amber

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Taxonomy
The knowledge of fossil terrestrial isopods is of rudimentary nature and the diversity of terrestrial isopods in the geological past is poorly represented in the current taxonomy of the suborder.

Molecular Evidence for the Placement of Microcerberidae (Crustacea: Isopoda) Within the Suborder Asellota and Invalidity of the Suborder Microcerberidea

open access: yesZoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 5, Page 770-776, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Since their discovery, the question of the phylogenetic position of Microcerberidae within Isopoda has been widely debated. Initially perceived as close relatives of the Anthuridae, the debate has shifted towards considering them either as a sister group of Asellota or positioned within the Asellota in their own right.
