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 ...

Genetic evidence against monophyly of Oniscidea implies a need to revise scenarios for the origin of terrestrial isopods. [PDF]

open access: yesSci Rep, 2019
Among the few crustacean taxa that managed to inhabit terrestrial environments, Oniscidea includes the most successful colonizers in terms of species richness and abundance.

Here Comes the Heat: Urban Warming Increases Abundance but Compromises Fitness in the Common Woodlouse

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Urbanisation and urban heat frequently co‐occur, and climate change is expected to amplify these effects, yet their consequences for population dynamics and life‐history traits remain unclear. Using the common woodlouse Armadillidium vulgare, a widespread decomposer and urban indicator species, we combined fine‐scale field surveys with ...

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,

Cavernicolous Oniscidea of Romania [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
35 species of cavernicolous Oniscidea inhabit the caves of Rom ania.A remarkable aspect of the oniscidean fauna is the high number of endemic species.The endemic species of Oniscidea from Romania form two groups: Carpathian endemites and Dobrogean ...

Trachelipus razzauti (Arcangeli, 1913) (Crustacea: Isopoda: Oniscidea) and Typhloiulus serborum Ćurčić & Makarov, 2005 (Myriapoda: Diplopoda) – new species for the Romanian fauna

open access: yesTravaux de l'Institut de Speologie Emile Racovitza
A new species of Oniscidea, Trachelipus razzauti, and a new species of Diplopoda, Typhloiulus serborum, are recorded first time for the Romanian fauna. Both species have been “discovered” in the collection of the “Emil Racoviţă” Institute of Speleology.

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.

Reproductive ecology of terrestrial isopods (Crustacea: Oniscidea)

open access: yes, 2009
Terrestrial isopods (Crustacea: Oniscidea) are important detritivores in many ecosystems. Because reproductive success and population dynamics of the Oniscidea depend on diverse biotic and abiotic environmental factors, the effects of global climate ...
