Diversity and evolution of sex determination systems in terrestrial isopods [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 Sex determination systems are highly variable in many taxa, sometimes even between closely related species. Yet the number and direction of transitions between these systems have seldom been characterized, and the underlying mechanisms are still poorly ...

Wolbachia in Neotropical terrestrial isopods [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2015 Despite Wolbachia being widespread among terrestrial isopods, studies on this symbiotic relationship are still incipient in the Neotropical region. The aims of the present study were to investigate the presence and prevalence of Wolbachia in natural populations of terrestrial isopod species in South America, and to analyze the diversity and ...
