Rewilding soil and litter invertebrates and fungi increases decomposition rates and alters detritivore communities. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
Rewilding entire communities of invertebrates and fungi during ecological restoration increased detritivore abundances. We found this had cascading effects that enhanced the efficiency of decomposition in revegetated farmland sites. Abstract Habitat degradation and associated reductions in ecosystem functions can be reversed by reintroducing or ...

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,

Winter activity of terrestrial isopods from thermal habitats in western Romania [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Terrestrial isopods from warm shores neighboring the thermal waters from western Romania remain active in the winter. This phenomenon is registered in 35 habitats, affecting 12 species (Hyloniscus transsilvanicus, H.

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 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.

CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE STUDY OF THE TRICHONISCIDAE (ISOPODA, ONISCIDEA). II. ANALYSIS OF THE MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERS

open access: yesTravaux de l'Institut de Speologie Emile Racovitza
Following an introductory presentation of the problems raised by the examination of the morphological characters according to the phylogenetic systematics, a detailed analysis of the morphological characters of the family Trichoniscidae within the ...

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

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 genus Ctenorillo Verhoeff, 1942 (Oniscidea, Armadillidae) from Colombia: new records, new species, and conservation comments

open access: yesTropical Zoology, 2023
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,

Does the Cave Environment Limit Functional Diversity? Rethinking Patterns in Oniscidea Assemblages From a Neotropical Karst

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.
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.
