Reproduction of Cubaris murina (Crustacea: Isopoda) under laboratory conditions and its use in ecotoxicity tests

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Reproduction of the isopod Cubaris murina was studied in the laboratory in order to observe the offspring number per brood, the number and duration of the incubation periods, and the influence of repeated mating on number of young per brood.

Species compositions of terrestrial isopods in public parks of a commuter town in Japan [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2018
The species compositions of terrestrial isopod assemblages in 150 public parks in a commuter town in Japan were investigated. Eleven species of terrestrial isopods were present, of which seven were considered native or oriental species, and four were ...

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...

Legal reserves: an important refuge for terrestrial isopods in agricultural areas

Revista Ambiente & Água, 2015
Terrestrial isopods (Crustacea) are macro decomposers of organic matter and bio-accumulators of metals. Soil management and farming practices have changed the population dynamics of isopods, jeopardizing the balance of agro ecosystems.

Does bigger mean sicker? A systematic review and meta‐analysis of the intraspecific relationship between host body size and parasite infection across vertebrate taxa

Oikos, EarlyView.
Elucidating the determinants of parasite infection levels of individuals within a population is a basic but important step for understanding the roles of parasites in natural systems. Among intraspecific studies on vertebrate hosts and metazoan parasites, host body size (length/mass) is probably the most frequently reported factor determining parasite ...

Warming modifies trophic impacts of invading shrimp with impact varying among primary producers

Oikos, EarlyView.
Environmental change drivers, such as climate change and species invasions, can disrupt biological networks and weaken ecosystem stability. Acting together, these drivers may interact and alter the effects on the ecosystem. However, few studies have examined the interactive effects of climate change and species invasions, particularly in aquatic ...

Trace Levels of Triclosan May Affect Root Growth and Morphology in Cultivated Plants

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Triclosan (TCS) is a micropollutant frequently detected in biosolids applied to agricultural soils. In soil solution—where it is potentially bioavailable to roots—it occurs at residual concentrations (ng L−1). Nevertheless, the ecotoxicological implications of TCS exposure in agricultural crops at these concentrations are still not fully ...

Geographic Patterns of Head Morphology in Syngnathus typhle Across Marine Regions

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Morphometric analysis of Syngnathus typhle head shape shows distinct geographic patterns across Baltic, North, Atlantic, and Mediterranean marine regions, driven by variation in snout length, head depth, and eye position. Findings provide a non‐invasive baseline for conservation monitoring.

A bibliometric analysis of research on terrestrial isopods

ZooKeys, 2022
Terrestrial isopods (Oniscidea) are crustaceans that thrive in terrestrial environments. This study provides an overview of the major topics in terrestrial isopod research during the last 70 years in order to provide an example of publication practices in invertebrate zoology and to examine how basic research in this area is transferred to its ...
