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 ...

A Cost of Reproduction in a Terrestrial Isopod [PDF]
Evolution, 1983 Species that reproduce repeatedly over their lifetimes typically allocate energy to both their reproductive activities and their non-reproductive, somatic activities. Fisher (1930) first posed the evolutionary problem of understanding not merely the physiological mechanism of this energy allocation, but also the ultimate question of how the allocation ...

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 ...

Predation by Terrestrial Isopods
The Florida Entomologist, 1974 Fifty of each sex of two species of terrestrial isopods, Armadillidium vulgare and Porcellio laevis, were each offered 16 live pupae, four each of Drosophilia hydei, D. immigrans, D. pseudoobscura and D. melanogaster, for 24 hr. Both sexes of both predator species fed on all prey species, each predator species taking numbers of prey species in the ...
