Basal position of two new complete mitochondrial genomes of parasitic Cymothoida (Crustacea: Isopoda) challenges the monophyly of the suborder and phylogeny of the entire order

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
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.

Pesticide‐Free Rice Paddies Promote Diverse and Distinct Aquatic Invertebrate Communities in Cool‐Temperate Agroecosystems

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Freshwater wetlands are disappearing across agricultural landscapes, prompting interest in pesticide‐free rice paddies as multifunctional habitats. Across 2 years, rice paddies supported higher local macroinvertebrate density and richness than nearby natural wetlands, although wetlands maintained greater regional diversity and more heterogeneous ...

Neotropical woodlice (isopoda) colonizing leaf-litter of pioneer plants in a coal residue disposal environment

Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2011
The irregular disposal of coal combustion residues has adverse impacts on terrestrial ecosystems. Pioneer plants and soil invertebrates play an important role in the recovery of these areas.

Assessment of Hyporheic Macroinvertebrate Biodiversity Within Gravel Bars Before and After Flooding: Comparison of Morphology, Bulk‐Sample, and eDNA Metabarcoding

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.
eDNA metabarcoding is generally consistent with morphology and bulk‐sample metabarcoding in revealing changes in hyporheic macroinvertebrate biodiversity influenced by flood and lateral locations of hyporheic zones.

Diet and Prey Selection of Migratory Shorebirds on Virginia Mudflats Revealed by Fecal DNA Metabarcoding

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.
Fecal DNA metabarcoding revealed species‐specific diets of migratory shorebirds on Virginia mudflats, highlighting mudflats as diverse foraging habitats and uncovering a previously undocumented biofilm pathway in mid‐Atlantic shorebird food webs.

First Report on the Diet of the Angolan Flying Squid (Todarodes angolensis) in New Zealand Waters

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.
The Angolan flying squid (Todarodes angolensis) is a southerly distributed, large‐bodied ommastrephid preyed upon by many large marine vertebrates such as the southern elephant seal and deep‐sea squalid sharks. Here, we report its diet in New Zealand waters for the first time, identifying prey items from the stomach contents of 58 adults using ...

Turn Alternation in Response to Substrate Vibration By Terrestrial Isopods, Porcellio, Laevis (Isopoda: Oniscidea) from Rural and Urban Habitats [PDF]

, 2006
Terrestrial isopods are known to increase the alternating mechanisms in response to adverse environmental conditions, a behavioral pattern presumably associated with efficient escape. The present study investigates whether turning behavior in response to

Mega Mounders: Burrowing Talitrids (Megalorchestia spp.) Excavate Large Quantities of Sand on California Beaches

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract High densities of burrowing talitrid amphipods inhabit beaches around the world. This includes California, where densities of more than 1,000 individuals m−2 are regularly recorded. Here, we provide evidence of Megalorchestia spp. excavating up to 10.38 kg dry sand m−2 d−1 on a beach in southern California, one of the highest mounding rates ...

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 ...

New host records of parasitic isopods of Tropical Eastern Pacific marine fishes, with remarks on the taxonomy and distribution of the species [PDF]

Nauplius
Marine fishes harbor a wide array of metazoan parasites, including helminths and crustaceans such as copepods and isopods. Even though the coast of Sinaloa stands out in Mexico by the volume of captured marine fishes, information about the diversity of ...
