Species conservation profiles of cave-adapted terrestrial isopods from Portugal [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2022 Terrestrial isopods (Oniscidea) are the most diverse group of troglobionts in caves of continental Portugal. They occur in all karst regions of Portugal, play a major role in decomposition of organic matter in caves and may act as umbrella species for ...

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

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.

The cavernicolous Oniscidea (Crustacea: Isopoda) of Portugal
European 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)
Travaux 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
ZooKeys, 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]
Tropical 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.
