Terrestrial Isopods (Isopoda: Oniscidea) from the Slovenian Karst

open access: yesNatura 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.

Woodlice of Belgium: an annotated checklist and bibliography (Isopoda, Oniscidea) [PDF]

open access: yesZooKeys, 2018
Woodlice are key organisms for nutrient cycling in many terrestrial ecosystems; however, knowledge on this invertebrate group is limited as for other soil fauna taxa. Here, we present an annotated checklist of the woodlice of Belgium, a small but densely populated country in Western Europe.

Habitat use governs distribution patterns of saprophagous (litter-transforming) macroarthropods - a case study of British woodlice (Isopoda: Oniscidea)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2012
Despite the importance of saprophagous macroarthropods as key facilitators of plant litter decomposition within ecosystems and their likely sensitivity to global climate change and land-use change, a lack of ecological data has precluded attempts to ...

Acceptance of two native myrmecophilous species, Platyarthrus hoffmannseggii (Isopoda: Oniscidea) and Cyphoderus albinus (Collembola: Cyphoderidae) by the introduced invasive garden ant Lasius neglectus (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in Belgium

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2007
The myrmecophilous isopod Platyarthrus hoffmannseggii Brandt, 1833 and the myrmecophilous springtail Cyphoderus albinus Nicolet, 1842 are commonly found in nests of a wide range of ant species in Belgium.

The cavernicolous Oniscidea (Crustacea: Isopoda) of Portugal

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Taxonomy, 2015
The study of subterranean Oniscidea in Portugal has been neglected for nearly 70 years, but recent investigations have revealed high diversity. All the terrestrial isopods from caves of mainland Portugal, including data from the literature and new material, are listed, revealing new biodiversity patterns.

The monophyly and the classification of the terrestrial isopods (Crustacea, Isopoda, Oniscidea)

open access: yesTravaux 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.

Patterns of taxonomic diversity among terrestrial isopods

open access: yesZooKeys, 2015
The publication of the world catalog of terrestrial isopods some ten years ago by Schmalfuss has facilitated research on isopod diversity patterns at a global scale. Furthermore, even though we still lack a comprehensive and robust phylogeny of Oniscidea,

The terrestrial Isopoda (Crustacea, Oniscidea) of the Maldives [PDF]

open access: yesTropical Zoology, 2014
Twenty-seven species of terrestrial isopods are recorded from the Maldive Islands (North Kaafu Atoll and Vaavu Atoll). One genus (Eubelinum) in the family Eubelidae and three species (Styloniscus maldivensis, Eubelinum incertum, and Pseudodiploexochus indicus) are described as new, and 26 species are newly recorded from the archipelago.
