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.

Do Parasite Effects on Fish Body Condition Depend on Host Size and External Temperature? A Meta‐Analytic Approach

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
Evaluating relationships between host body condition indices (BCIs) and parasite infections is a common approach for assessing the negative effects of parasites on host health. Researchers generally expect negative correlations between BCIs and infection levels; however, empirical results are often highly variable among host–parasite systems.

Here Comes the Heat: Urban Warming Increases Abundance but Compromises Fitness in the Common Woodlouse

Ecology and Evolution
Urbanisation and urban heat frequently co‐occur, and climate change is expected to amplify these effects, yet their consequences for population dynamics and life‐history traits remain unclear.

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 ...

Understanding marine biodiversity patterns and drivers: The fall of Icarus

Marine Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity patterns are fundamental in our understanding of the distribution of life, ecosystem function, and conservation. In this concept analysis, A survey of the existing knowledge on marine biodiversity patterns and drivers across latitudes, longitudes, and depths indicates that none of the postulated patterns represent a rule.

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.

Filter feeders living on suspension feeders: New insights into the lifestyle and distribution of Arcturidae Dana, 1849 (Crustacea: Isopoda) around Iceland

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 ...
