Isopod parasites of Pygocentrus piraya (Characiformes: Serrasalmidae) in the lower São Francisco River, Brazil [PDF]

Nauplius
Isopods of the suborder Cymothoida include ectoparasite species that cause physical damage and affect the development of the host by feeding on blood and tissues.

Beyond species diversity: Functional responses of cave arthropods to microclimatic stability and structural complexity

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Species richness declined along cave microclimatic gradient, while diversity increased with habitat heterogeneity, highlighting distinct roles of abiotic conditions and structural complexity in shaping arthropod communities. Functional traits shifted along the microclimatic gradient, with larger‐bodied and more eye‐regressed arthropods dominating under

Practical methods for culturing parasitic gnathiid isopods

, 2020
The reliance of parasites on their hosts makes host-parasite interactions ideal models for exploring ecological and evolutionary processes. By providing a consistent supply of parasites, in vivo monocultures offer the opportunity to conduct experiments ...

Toxicity of the organophosphorous insecticide chlormephos to the earthworm Eisenia andrei and the terrestrial isopod Porcellio scaber

Acta Biologica Slovenica, 2009
In the present study we determined the toxicity of chlormephos to two common soil organisms – earthworms (Eisenia andrei) and isopods(Porcellio scaber) using Lufa 2.2 soil.

Nest boxes as microhabitats supporting diverse arthropod communities

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Diverse Micro‐Habitats: Nest boxes supported 3634 arthropods from 82 families, highlighting their significant conservation value as artificial micro‐habitats for diverse invertebrate communities beyond their primary use for birds. Occupancy Boosts Diversity: Occupied nests exhibited significantly higher arthropod richness, abundance and Shannon ...

Characterizing prevalence and ecological impact of non-native terrestrial isopods (Isopoda, Oniscidea) in tallgrass prairie [PDF]

, 2012
Isopods are terrestrial crustaceans whose role and impact in the tallgrass prairie ecosystem remains little explored despite being rather prevalent non-native inhabitants. To better understand this role, we conducted two related studies.

Wisconsin freshwater isopods (Asellidae)

, 1997
Four species of freshwater isopods in the family Asellidae were collected from Wisconsin. There is very little published information on the asellid isopods of Wisconsin.

COMMUNITY STRUCTURE OF ISOPODS (ONISCIDEA) AT DIFFERENT ORCHARDS IN ASSIUT, EGYPT [PDF]

Assiut University Journal of Multidisciplinary Scientific Research, 2019
Terrestrial isopods provide many important services for the ecosystem such as litter decomposition, nutrient mineralization. The present study aimed to make a survey of the distribution of isopods as leaf litter decomposers; in five different orchards ...

Evidence for the evolution of thermal tolerance, but not desiccation tolerance, in response to hotter, drier city conditions in a cosmopolitan, terrestrial isopod

Evolutionary Applications, 2021
Cities are often hotter and drier compared with nearby undeveloped areas, but how organisms respond to these multifarious stressors associated with urban heat islands is largely unknown.
