Brooding Phylogenomics: Target-Capture Probe Sets for the Analysis of Ultraconserved Elements in the Peracarida. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT Sequencing via target capture has been used to great effect in phylogenetic studies of organisms such as insects, arachnids and vertebrates. However, other taxa have received limited genomic attention despite their diversity and the intensity of research on such groups. Here, we describe generalised probe sets targeting ultraconserved elements

A Novel Light-Induced Collective Circular Movement in <i>Armadillo sordidus</i> Isopods. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We describe an interesting aggregative behavior in terrestrial isopods. We conclude that this behavior is in response to intense artificial lighting. ABSTRACT Collective movement in terrestrial isopods has rarely been documented and almost never discussed.

Microplastic ingestion affects hydrogen production and microbiomes in the gut of the terrestrial isopod Porcellio scaber

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.

Urban soil quality deteriorates even with low heavy metal levels: An arthropod‐based multi‐indices approach

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

Feeding habits and multifunctional classification of soil‐associated consumers from protists to vertebrates

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 ...

Reproductive organs and spermatogenesis of the peculiar spermatozoa of the genus Kryptodasys (Gastrotricha, Macrodasyida), with an appraisal of the occurrence and origin of the tail‐less spermatozoa in Gastrotricha

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 ...

Marsupial extension in terrestrial isopods (Crustacea, Isopoda, Oniscidea)

Nauplius
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.
