A Cost of Reproduction in a Terrestrial Isopod [PDF]
Evolution, 1983 Species that reproduce repeatedly over their lifetimes typically allocate energy to both their reproductive activities and their non-reproductive, somatic activities. Fisher (1930) first posed the evolutionary problem of understanding not merely the physiological mechanism of this energy allocation, but also the ultimate question of how the allocation ...

A checklist of isopods (Crustacea: Isopoda) in Slovenia [PDF]
Natura Sloveniae, 2023 Isopods are a diverse peracarid crustacean group with marine, freshwater and terrestrial representatives. Isopod species lists were typically prepared according to different habitats, which was true also for Slovenia. Here, we prepared the first unified overview of isopod species for Slovenia, which is also the first list of marine isopods in the ...

Nature, 1961 IN crustaceans the hepatopancreas is the main organ of enzyme production. In isopods this organ consists of two types of cells which differ in size and were first distinguished by Weber1. This author observed in the smaller cells dense clumps of yellowish granules which became the subject of some controversy.

Predation by Terrestrial Isopods
The Florida Entomologist, 1974 Fifty of each sex of two species of terrestrial isopods, Armadillidium vulgare and Porcellio laevis, were each offered 16 live pupae, four each of Drosophilia hydei, D. immigrans, D. pseudoobscura and D. melanogaster, for 24 hr. Both sexes of both predator species fed on all prey species, each predator species taking numbers of prey species in the ...

Isopod distribution and climate change [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2018 The unique properties of terrestrial isopods regarding responses to limiting factors such as drought and temperature have led to interesting distributional patterns along climatic and other environmental gradients at both species and community level. This paper will focus on the exploration of isopod distributions in evaluating climate change effects ...

Contemporary parallel diversification, antipredator adaptations and phenotypic integration in an aquatic isopod. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 It is increasingly being recognized that predation can be a strong diversifying agent promoting ecological divergence. Adaptations against different predatory regimes can emerge over short periods of time and include many different traits.

The terrestrial isopod fauna of Cheharmahal-va-Bakhtiyari Province [PDF]
علوم محیطی, 2020 Introduction: Terrestrial isopods constitute the largest suborder in the order Isopoda and, as one of the main groups of soil decomposers, have an important role in acceleration of plant material recycling. Due to the shortage of studies on this taxon in

MEDITERRANEAN SEA FRY; A SOURCE OF ISOPOD INFESTATION PROBLEM IN EGYPT WITH REFERENCE TO THE EFFECT OF SALINITY AND TEMPERATURE ON THE SURVIVAL OF LIVONECA REDMANII (ISOPODA: CYMOTHOIDAE) JUVENILE STAGES. [PDF]
Journal of the Egyptian Society of Parasitology, 2019 Parasitic isopods have received considerable attention as they cause series impacts on their hosts either alone or with other environmental stresses such as water pollution. The present study investigated the infestation status with isopods among the fry
