Environmental Microbiology, Volume 25, Issue 12, Page 2776-2791, December 2023., 2023 Abstract Microplastic (MP) is an environmental burden and enters food webs via ingestion by macrofauna, including isopods (Porcellio scaber) in terrestrial ecosystems. Isopods represent ubiquitously abundant, ecologically important detritivores. However, MP‐polymer specific effects on the host and its gut microbiota are unknown.

Fossil Studies, 2023 A fossil of Oniscidea, Tylidae gen. et sp. indet. from Kachin amber (Cretaceous Cenomanian), Myanmar, is described here. The convex body, the cephalon with a triangular protrusion between the antennae, and pereonites 2–6 with epimera demarcated from tergites indicate that this specimen belongs to the family Tylidae, but since it is not an adult the ...

Ecological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 4, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Urban‐induced habitat conversion drastically changes soil life in a variety of ways. Soil sealing, human disturbance, habitat fragmentation, industrial and vehicular pollution are the main causes of urban soil degradation. Soil arthropods, as one of the most abundant and diverse group of soil fauna, are involved in many soil processes that are

Biological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 3, Page 1057-1117, June 2022., 2022 ABSTRACT Soil organisms drive major ecosystem functions by mineralising carbon and releasing nutrients during decomposition processes, which supports plant growth, aboveground biodiversity and, ultimately, human nutrition. Soil ecologists often operate with functional groups to infer the effects of individual taxa on ecosystem functions and services ...

Marsupial extension in terrestrial isopods (Crustacea, Isopoda, Oniscidea) [PDF]
Nauplius, 2011 In Oniscidea, the marsupium is a ventral pouch where the offspring develop independently of an external water source. The marsupium is formed by five pairs of overlapping oostegites that develop in the females during their reproductive period. In this study, ovigerous females of 35 species were dissected, their oostegites were extracted, and the intra ...

Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 59, Issue 8, Page 1673-1688, November 2021., 2021 Aflagellate spermatozoa in two species of Kryptodasys are reported. Their ultrastructure shows common features, which appear peculiar to the genus and different from those of male gametes of Dolichodasys, the only other macrodasyidan genus known to have aflagellate sperm.

The effects of released pheasants on invertebrate populations in and around woodland release sites
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 19, Page 13559-13569, October 2021., 2021 The annual release of tens of millions of non‐native gamebirds for recreational shooting in the UK is considered to drive a series of ecological effects on the habitats and wildlife in and around the areas that they are introduced. One potential direct effect is that these omnivorous birds eat invertebrates and so alter their community size and ...
