Bacteriophage WO in Wolbachia infecting terrestrial isopods
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2005Wolbachia are maternally inherited intracellular alpha-proteobacteria that infect a wide range of arthropods. They are associated with a number of different reproductive phenotypes in arthropods and nematodes. In isopod crustacean, Wolbachia are responsible for feminization of genetic males in many species, and for cytoplasmic incompatibility in two ...

Sociobiology of Terrestrial Isopods
2007AbstractIsopods are the only crustacean taxon with many truly terrestrial species, including desert inhabitants. These species show a highly developed social behavior that is crucial for survival under the harsh conditions in desert environments. The desert-living Hemilepistus spp.

Consumer strategies of terrestrial gastropods and isopods
Oecologia, 1978Morphological, physiological and ecological evidence is used to show that terrestrial gastropods and isopods, although both can be considered as "primary consumers", deal quite differently with the vegetabilic matter they use as food. Gastropods are both efficient digesters and assimilators whereas isopods are efficient digesters but usually ...

Brood-pouch structures in terrestrial isopods
Invertebrate Reproduction & Development, 1996Summary The brood-pouch (marsupium) of the oniscid isopod species Armadillo officinalis Dumeril 1816 (see Vandel 1955) (Armadillidae), Schizidium tiberianum Verhoeff 1923 (Armadillidiidae), and Porcellio olivieri (Audouin 1825) (Porcellionidae) was examined during their marsupial (breeding) period.

The terrestrial isopods (Crustacea) of Aldabra
Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 1985Among a collection of terrestrial isopods from Aldabra were 13 species, six of which are new: Littorophiloscia aldabrana, Philoscina insularis, Trichorhina triocellata, Nagurus kensleyi, Pseudodiploexochus cuspidatus and Venezillo pseudoparvus. Alloniscus pigmentatus Budde-Lund and Tura angusta Budde-Lund are re-described and figured.

Advances in terrestrial isopod biology
2012Terrestrial isopods (woodlice) are the only group of crustaceans fully adapted to life on land and with about 3,700 species known at present represent the largest suborder of Isopoda. They occur in almost any kind of terrestrial habitat, from littoral to high mountains, from forests to deserts, with some species adapted to live in subterranean ...

Isopods and Their Terrestrial Environment
1987Publisher Summary The chapter reveals that the terrestrial adaptations of the oniscoid isopods range from structural and behavioral to ecological and physiological traits. Oniscoid isopods have emerged on land through the littoral zone, and the whole series of isopod species as if they were amidst the process of emerging from the seashore onto land ...

Trends in Terrestrial Isopod Biology
2015Terrestrial isopods or woodlice (Crustacea, Oniscidea) represent the largest suborder of Isopoda and are the only group of crustaceans fully adapted to live on land. Up to date, over 3,700 species are known but many more are expected to be discovered as soon as many areas, especially in the tropics but also in temperate regions, have been properly ...
