Constrained body shape among highly genetically divergent allopatric lineages of the supralittoral isopod Ligia occidentalis (Oniscidea)

open access: yesEcology 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 ...

Considerations regarding Hyloniscus inflatus (Isopoda, Oniscidea) – a rare species of Hyloniscus from Romania

open access: yesTravaux de l'Institut de Speologie Emile Racovitza, 2021
The paper provides a completion of the description of Hyloniscus inflatus given by Verhoeff in 1927The genus Hyloniscusestablished by Karl Verhoeff in 1908 contains 26 species(SCHMALFUSS,2003) which, excepting the expansive speciesHyloniscus riparius ...

A globally influential area‐condition metric is a poor proxy for invertebrate biodiversity

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Fungal Energy Channelling Sustains Soil Animal Communities Across Forest Types and Regions

open access: yesEcology 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 ...

Haemocyanin of some Oniscidea.

open access: yesActa 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+).

Revision of the Neotropical Scleropactidae (Crustacea: Oniscidea) [PDF]

open access: yesZoological 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 colourful world with a dark future: Unregulated trade as an emerging threat for woodlice (Isopoda: Oniscidea) of Spain

open access: yesInsect 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.

A check-list of Oniscidea (Isopoda, Crustacea) from Dobruja (Romania) [PDF]

open access: yesArchives 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

Optimizing eDNA Metabarcoding Techniques for Assessing Arthropod Communities in Tree‐Related Microhabitats

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–February 2025.
This study highlights the significance of using environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding to study forest arthropods associated with tree‐related microhabitats (TreMs) and deadwood. We find that our tree surface sampling effectively captured ecologically significant arthropods associated with TreMs, exhibiting overlap with other deadwood sediment samples ...
