Cost of Breeding in Oniscid Isopods: A Partial Review
Oniscid isopods (Isopoda, Oniscidea) are able to provide extra developmental time to their young. This is done by having an internal oviposition: mature eggs are oviposited into the marsupium (brood pouch) where they undergo ermbryogenesis.

Isopods as sustainable resources for future feed and food systems
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 ...

ABSTRACT Southern right whale (Eubalaena australis; SRW) populations are recovering from the impacts of commercial whaling, however, recovery has been spatially variable, with strong associations between reproduction and prey availability. The diet of SRWs has not been widely examined, and with SRW foraging shifting away from high‐latitude foraging ...

The Transpiration of Terrestrial Isopods [PDF]
ABSTRACT The transpiration of three species of Isopoda has been investigated ; Armadillidium shows the highest resistance to desiccation, Oniscus the least, and Porcellio is intermediate. The permeability of isopod cuticle is limited by lipoids which impregnate the endocuticle.

Isopod crustaceans have developed a variety of feeding strategies, which impact on their various life habits over time. Apart from morphological adaptations and the typical secondary deformations that some parasitic isopods inflict on their host's ...

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

Reproductive ecology of terrestrial isopods (Crustacea: Oniscidea)
Terrestrial isopods (Crustacea: Oniscidea) are important detritivores in many ecosystems. Because reproductive success and population dynamics of the Oniscidea depend on diverse biotic and abiotic environmental factors, the effects of global climate ...
