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 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.

Personality affects defensive behaviour of Porcellio scaber (Isopoda, Oniscidea) [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2015 We evaluated individual behavioural patterns of isopods expressed as tonic immobility following some intrusive treatments. Common rough woodlice, Porcellioscaber, were kept individually in plastic boxes and tested for tonic immobility repeatedly. Reactivity, sensitivity (number of stimuli needed to respond), and endurance of tonic immobility (TI ...

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 ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 6, Issue 5, Page 1537-1554, March 2016., 2016 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 ...

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 ...
