Identification key to the cavernicolous Oniscidea of Romania [PDF]
Travaux de l'Institut de Speologie Emile Racovitza, 2014 Certain authors see the division Infraorder Tylomorpha (Tylidae) – Infraorder Ligiamorpha (all Oniscidea except the Tylidae) as the first dichotomy inside the Oniscidea.

The monophyly and the classification of the terrestrial isopods (Crustacea, Isopoda, Oniscidea)
Travaux de l'Institut de Speologie Emile Racovitza, 2020 In accordance with our previous opinions (Tabacaru and Danielopol, 1996, 1999; Tabacaru and Giurginca, 2014, 2019), we argue again the monophyly of Oniscidea one of the well-defined suborders of the Order Isopoda.

Terrestrial Isopods from Spanish Amber (Crustacea: Oniscidea): Insights into the Cretaceous Soil Biota. [PDF]
, 2022 Terrestrial isopods (Crustacea: Oniscidea) are a model group for studying the colonization of land. However, their fossil record is remarkably scarce and restricted to amber inclusions, and therefore amber deposits represent valuable windows to their ...

Population Genetics of an Endemic Species <i>Mongoloniscus sinensis</i> (Isopoda: Oniscidea) and Diversification Dynamics Across Northern China. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe explored the population genetics and demographic history of an isopod species endemic in temperate China on the basis of three mitochondrial genes. Three clusters were identified. The Midland group has the highest genetic diversity, and the greatest differentiation between the East and West groups was due to the geographical barrier caused by the ...
