Terrestrila isopods biodiversity in Majerda agroecosystems (Tunisia)
, 2014 We studied the seasonal variation of isopods diversity and the effects of cultivation types on the isopods communities. The study consisted of twelve plots in the Majerda agroecosystems.

168 million years old “marine lice” and the evolution of parasitism within isopods [PDF]
, 2017 BACKGROUND: Isopods (woodlice, slaters and their relatives) are common crustaceans and abundant in numerous habitats. They employ a variety of lifestyles including free-living scavengers and predators but also obligate parasites.

New records and new species of the troglobitic genus Xangoniscus (Crustacea: Isopoda: Styloniscidae)
Tropical ZoologyNew collections from caves in Bahia state, northeastern Brazil, have revealed additional occurrences of Xangoniscus species. These findings have led to the identification of previously unknown, taxonomically significant morphological features for ...

Isopod holobionts as promising models for lignocellulose degradation
Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2020 Background Isopods have colonized all environments, partly thanks to their ability to decompose the organic matter. Their enzymatic repertoire, as well as the one of their associated microbiota, has contributed to their colonization success.

Marine Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract The focus of the present study was on arcturid isopods occurring in the subarctic region around Iceland. Data from two decades of sampling with an epibenthic sledge (EBS) during numerous expeditions of the BIOICE (Benthic Invertebrates of Icelandic Waters; 1992–2004) and IceAGE (Icelandic marine Animals: Genetics and Ecology; 2011—ongoing ...

Terrestrial isopods associated with shallow underground of forested scree slopes in the Western Carpathians (Slovakia) [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2018 The shallow underground of forested scree slopes represents a little-studied subterranean biotope. In this paper, species diversity and depth distribution of terrestrial isopod communities studied in the depth profile (5–95 cm from the surface) of eight ...

The Greenland–Scotland Ridge in a Changing Ocean: Time to Act?
Marine Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Greenland–Scotland Ridge is a submarine mountain that rises up to 500 m below the sea surface and extends from the east coast of Greenland to the continental shelf of Iceland and across the Faroe Islands to Scotland. The ridge not only separates deeper ocean basins on either side, that is, the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans, but also ...

Predatory behavior of the land flatworm Notogynaphallia abundans (Platyhelminthes: Tricladida)
Zoologia (Curitiba), 2009 Land flatworms are carnivorous, mainly predators. However, knowledge on their predatory behavior and prey preference is very scarce. This paucity of data is a limiting factor in the study of their biology and organismal ecology, resulting in a very ...

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Endangered fish species, such as Delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus), in the San Francisco Estuary are threatened by a multitude of anthropogenic stressors. Tidal wetland restoration can partially mitigate these stressors by increasing food availability of aquatic invertebrate prey, but the efficacy of restoration remains ...
