A bibliometric analysis of research on terrestrial isopods. [PDF]
Zookeys, 2022 Terrestrial isopods (Oniscidea) are crustaceans that thrive in terrestrial environments. This study provides an overview of the major topics in terrestrial isopod research during the last 70 years in order to provide an example of publication practices in invertebrate zoology and to examine how basic research in this area is transferred to its ...

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 ...

Legal reserves: an important refuge for terrestrial isopods in agricultural areas
Revista Ambiente & Água, 2015 Terrestrial isopods (Crustacea) are macro decomposers of organic matter and bio-accumulators of metals. Soil management and farming practices have changed the population dynamics of isopods, jeopardizing the balance of agro ecosystems.

Differential Phoretic Vector Use Among Sympatric <i>Caenorhabditis</i> Nematodes and an Association With Invasive Nitidulid Beetles in Southwestern Germany. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe show evidence for differential host use among the three sympatric Caenorhabditis, and a novel association with nitidulid beetles for C. apta sp. n. This information adds to our understanding of host invertebrate use across the Caenorhabditis phylogeny, highlighting potential evolutionary transitions in host use in need of further study.
