The cavernicolous Oniscidea (Crustacea: Isopoda) of Portugal [PDF]
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.

Data on the terrestrial Isopoda fauna of the Alsó-hegy, Aggtelek National Park, Hungary [PDF]
Field surveys in dolines of Alsó-hegy, Aggtelek Karst (Hungary) yielded 10 terrestrial isopod species. Despite of the relatively low species richness, we would like to emphasize the high naturalness of the area indicated by the presence of endemic and

Cave habitats strongly filter functional traits, constraining the diversity of terrestrial isopod communities along the epigean–hypogean gradient. Functional turnover decreases while richness differences increase in hypogean systems, reflecting uneven occupation of trait space rather than simple trait replacement.

The Armadillidae are the most diverse family within the Oniscidea, widely distributed around the world. To date, only seven species of the family are known from Colombia. After the examination of a collection from the Colombian departments of Atlántico,

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract As key detritivores and fungal grazers, terrestrial isopods (Isopoda: Oniscidea) play crucial roles in mediating ecosystem processes. Although nitrogen enrichment represents a major global change driver known to modify soil food webs, its long‐term effects on the ...

The rocky supralittoral isopod Ligia occidentalis sensu lato has a broad distribution in the eastern Pacific, where multiple allopatric genetically divergent lineages occur, which are exposed to marked environmental differences. Using geometric morphometrics, we detected statistically significant differences in body shape among highly divergent ...

The first troglobitic terrestrial isopod (Isopoda, Oniscidea) from Peru
The present work aims to describe the first troglobitic terrestrial isopod (Oniscidea) from Peru. Caecopactes chullachaqui sp. nov. is described from Cueva de Palestina, Department of San Martín.

Calyptrates are a megadiverse, actively radiating, group of dipterans, which are widely spread and abundant in nearly all terrestrial environments. Despite huge diversity and economic importance, their phylogeny is far from resolved.
