Phylogeny of the terrestrial Isopoda (Oniscidea): a review [PDF]
Arthropod Systematics & Phylogeny, 2008 Recent hypotheses on the phylogeny of the Oniscidea are summarized. The position of the Oniscidea in the phylogenetic system of the Isopoda is discussed. Within the Oniscidea, phylogenetic relationships are considered mainly down to „family“ level. Well founded monophyletic clades are discussed and unresolved and problematic regions are pointed out.

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 11, Page 3225-3237, November 2025.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 ...

Revision of the Neotropical Scleropactidae (Crustacea: Oniscidea) [PDF]
Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2007 The species of Scleropactidae from America are revised and redescribed. A phylogeny hypothesis based on an analysis of morphological characters is presented. The genera are redefined and the generic placement of several species is corrected. The Neotropical Scleropactidae include Colomboscia, Scleropactes, Circoniscus, Neosanfilippia, Sphaeroniscus ...

A globally influential area‐condition metric is a poor proxy for invertebrate biodiversity
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 10, Page 2529-2540, October 2025.Our results highlight the need to incorporate factors beyond habitat type and condition into site evaluations, and to complement metric use with species‐based surveys. Abstract There is increasing demand for standardised, easy‐to‐use metrics to assess progress towards achieving biodiversity targets and the effectiveness of ecological compensation ...

Haemocyanin of some Oniscidea.
Acta biochimica Polonica, 1992 In the haemolymph of Oniscidea haemocyanin exists mainly in the form of hexamer 16S (90%); the 5S and 24S components are present in small amounts. Alkaline dissociation of the examined 16S haemocyanins is dependent on pH and divalent cations (Ca2+,Mg2+).

Fungal Energy Channelling Sustains Soil Animal Communities Across Forest Types and Regions
Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 5, May 2025.We developed a novel framework combining stable isotope analysis of essential amino acids and energy fluxes to quantify basal resource contributions and trophic positions of meso‐ and macrofauna detritivores (Collembola, Oribatida, Diplopoda, Isopoda, Lumbricidae) and predators (Mesostigmata, Chilopoda) in 48 forest sites of different management ...

A check-list of Oniscidea (Isopoda, Crustacea) from Dobruja (Romania) [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2003 The authors record 41 species of Oniscidea in Dobruja belonging to 10 families and emphasize two main characteristics of the Isopod fauna from this region: a high degree of endemicity and the affinities with the East Mediterranean living world manifested

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 2, Page 161-176, March 2025.The unregulated trade of terrestrial isopods is a current and significant new threat that leads to the local extinctions of endemic species. Genetic contamination and the introduction and spread of alien species are other secondary threats that could affect native woodlouse populations.
