An overview of Estonian woodlice (Isopoda, Oniscidea) [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2021
An overview of the Estonian terrestrial isopod fauna is given, based on literature data and material collected from 1984 to 2021. The identified material consisted of 10915 specimens belonging to 14 species and collected from 172 localities throughout Estonia. In combination with previous data from the literature data, there are now reliable records of

THE FAMILY OLIBRINIDAE IN ITALY (MALACOSTRACA ISOPODA ONISCIDEA)

Redia, 2022
Taiti S., Gardini P. – The family Olibrinidae in Italy (Malacostraca Isopoda Oniscidea). Among the Oniscidea, the family Olibrinidae is still poorly known and was not yet recorded from Italy. The genus Castellanethes Brian, 1952, previously included in the family Trichoniscidae, is transferred to the family Olibrinidae, representing the first record of

First Fossil of Tylidae (Isopoda: Oniscidea) in Kachin Amber, Myanmar, with a List of All Oniscidea Fossil Records

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 ...

A Molecular Phylogeny of Cavernicolous Oniscidea (Isopoda) Reveals Multiple Origins of Troglodytic Behavior (Oniscidea, Isopoda)

Highlights in Science, Engineering and Technology, 2023
We infer the relationship of Oniscidea by utilizing two genetic markers, COI and 16S, and build a topology using the Maximum Likelihood method. We found that troglobitic behavior to have arisen multiple times independently, and the genera Spherillo and Burmoniscus to be in need of revision.

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 ...
