Body size is the most important feature of all organisms and in this study is represented by the variables “body length” and “body width”. Bergmann’s Rule is a hypothesis concerning body size increase with latitude for homeotherms, whereas geographic ...

The Risks That Cirolanid Isopods Pose to Ocean Resources
Marine isopods are the ancestors of the harmless herbivorous woodlouse species often found in piles of leaves. In contrast to woodlice, marine isopods of the family Cirolanidae (cirolanid isopods) are scavengers and predatory carnivores that form swarms ...

ABSTRACT Hadal environments (> 6000 m ocean depths) are often viewed as isolated locations with high species endemism due to limited dispersal. However, molecular studies continue to reveal greater complexity that questions historical perceptions. Recent population genetic studies focused on scavenging amphipods have identified broadly distributed ...

Background Isopoda is a highly diverse order of crustaceans with more than 10,300 species, many of which are parasitic. Taxonomy and phylogeny within the order, especially those of the suborder Cymothoida Wägele, 1989, are still debated.

ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

The impacts of biological invasions
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological
