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 ...

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 ...

Personality affects defensive behaviour of Porcellio scaber (Isopoda, Oniscidea) [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2015 We evaluated individual behavioural patterns of isopods expressed as tonic immobility following some intrusive treatments. Common rough woodlice, Porcellioscaber, were kept individually in plastic boxes and tested for tonic immobility repeatedly. Reactivity, sensitivity (number of stimuli needed to respond), and endurance of tonic immobility (TI ...

The Terrestrial Isopod \u3ci\u3eHyloniscus Riparius\u3c/i\u3e (Isopoda: Oniscidea: Trichoniscidae) in Wisconsin [PDF]
, 2018 We examined seasonal reproductive patterns for the terrestrial isopod Hyloniscus riparius in Wisconsin. Samples collected from habitats in three Wisconsin regions were compared with regard to the reproductive status of population members.

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.

The gut microbiota structure of the terrestrial isopod Porcellionides pruinosus (Isopoda: Oniscidea)
The European Zoological Journal, 2020 We used a combination of culture-dependent and independent approaches to study in depth the microbial community associated with the digestive tract of the terrestrial isopod Porcellionides pruinosus (Brandt, ).

Demography of some non-native isopods (Crustacea, Isopoda, Oniscidea) in a Mid-Atlantic forest, USA [PDF]
, 2015 Introduced species dominate the terrestrial isopod fauna in most inland habitats of North America, including urban landscapes. These non-native species are often very abundant and thus potentially play a significant role in detritus processing.

Terrestrial Isopods (Isopoda: Oniscidea) from the Slovenian Karst
Natura Sloveniae, 2005 Hand sorting was performed in 28 habitats of the Slovenian Karst during 2004. Twenty-three terrestrial isopod species were identified, two of which proved to be new for the Slovenian fauna, namely Trichoniscus matulici and Armadillidium nasatum. Synanthropic and semi-natural sampling sites were chosen for collecting samples.
