Terrestrial isopods are known to increase the alternating mechanisms in response to adverse environmental conditions, a behavioral pattern presumably associated with efficient escape. The present study investigates whether turning behavior in response to

Sea-land transitions in isopods: pattern of symbiont distribution in two species of intertidal isopods Ligia pallasii and Ligia occidentalis in the Eastern Pacific [PDF]
Studies of microbial associations of intertidal isopods in the primitive genus Ligia (Oniscidea, Isopoda) can help our understanding of the formation of symbioses during sea-land transitions, as terrestrial Oniscidean isopods have previously been found ...

Data from: Considerations used by desert isopods to assess scorpion predation risk
Animals adjust behaviors to balance changes in predation risk against other vital needs. Animals must therefore collect sensory information and use complex risk assessment process that estimates risks and weigh costs and benefits entailed in different ...

The 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.

The Terrestrial Isopods of Iowa
A careful study of Miss Harriet Richardson\u27s Monograph on the Isopods of North America (Bulletin 54, United States National Museum) shows only eleven species of what are commonly called sowbugs and pillbugs that might reasonably be expected to live in

Questions and possible new directions for research into the biology of terrestrial isopods
New directions for research identified during the final plenary discussion of the Sixth Symposium on the Biology of Terrestrial Isopods included: locating enzymes buffering pleon fluids during excretion of ammonia and the use of isopods in ecotoxicology ...

Behavioral Thermoregulation in Terrestrial Isopods
Organisms have optimal body temperatures and use diverse mechanisms in different environments to modulate internal thermal conditions, a process called thermoregulation.

The effect of climate on the distribution and abundance of isopods [PDF]
Climate affects both the distribution and abundance of isopods. Humidity and moisture affect their activity and distribution. Survival of juveniles is largely dependent on moisture. The reproductive pattern is affected by temperature and light.
