Antipredatory strategies of terrestrial isopods [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2022 Terrestrial isopods (Oniscidea) represent a widespread group of land Crustacea that have been able to successfully adapt to the terrestrial environment and occupy newly formed ecological niches. During the colonisation of land, they faced numerous challenges, including finding an effective way to avoid their new terrestrial predators.

Terrestrial isopods as model organisms in soil ecotoxicology: a review [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2018 Isopods play an important role in the decomposition of leaf litter and therefore are making a significant contribution to nutrient cycling and soil ecosystem services.

Wolbachia in Neotropical terrestrial isopods [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2015 Despite Wolbachia being widespread among terrestrial isopods, studies on this symbiotic relationship are still incipient in the Neotropical region. The aims of the present study were to investigate the presence and prevalence of Wolbachia in natural populations of terrestrial isopod species in South America, and to analyze the diversity and ...

Species conservation profiles of cave-adapted terrestrial isopods from Portugal [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2022 Terrestrial isopods (Oniscidea) are the most diverse group of troglobionts in caves of continental Portugal. They occur in all karst regions of Portugal, play a major role in decomposition of organic matter in caves and may act as umbrella species for ...

Size dependence of offspring production in isopods: a synthesis [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2018 In isopods, parental care takes the form of offspring brooding in marsupial pouches. Marsupial brooding was an important step towards the origin of terrestrial lifestyles among isopods, but its potential role in shaping isopod life histories remains ...

Effects of terrestrial isopods (Crustacea: Oniscidea) on leaf litter decomposition processes
Journal of Basic and Applied Zoology, 2015 The leaf litter decomposition is carried out by the combined action of microorganisms and decomposer invertebrates such as earthworms, diplopods and isopods. The present work aimed to evaluate the impact of terrestrial isopod on leaf litter decomposition
