Hermaphroditism in a Terrestrial Isopod

Nature, 1946
IN July last Dr. H. W. Howard forwarded to me a specimen of Armadillidium vulgare (Latreille) in which he pointed out that the styles were very small, On examination, this was confirmed, and I also noted that the oostegites had commenced to form. The specimen was carefully watched for eleven weeks, when it died ; no further development had taken place.

Bacteriophage WO in Wolbachia infecting terrestrial isopods

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2005
Wolbachia 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 ...

Physiology of terrestrial isopods

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1993
Abstract 1. 1. This article reviews the physiology of oniscidean isopods, a group of terrestrial crustaceans known commonly as woodlice or sowbugs. 2. 2. The oniscideans are represented by several hundred species in 34 families and occupy habitats ranging from sea beach to woodland, grassland and desert. 3. 3.

Granivory in terrestrial isopods

Ecological Entomology, 2008
Abstract Granivory (seed feeding) evolved in many animal groups. Field observations hint at the existence of granivory in terrestrial isopods (Crustacea: Isopoda: Oniscidea), for which it was previously unknown. In this paper granivory in terrestrial isopods is addressed for the first time, focusing on (i) seed ...

The terrestrial isopods (Crustacea) of Aldabra

Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 1985
Among 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.

Iridoviruses Infecting Terrestrial Isopods and Nematodes

1985
Iridoviruses of terrestrial isopods (IIV) were first described in detail in 1980 (Federici 1980; Cole and Morris 1980) although the distinct purple to blue iridescent coloration produced in infected individuals had been noticed by many individuals long before.

Consumer strategies of terrestrial gastropods and isopods

Oecologia, 1978
Morphological, 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 ...

Mechanical properties of terrestrial isopods

Bioinspired, Biomimetic and Nanobiomaterials, 2013
Terrestrial isopods have developed a lightweight exoskeleton to the demands of different predation possibilities, for example fast escaping behavior (runner) to rolling into a ball to withstand external forces. However, detailed mechanical investigations onto them are not available yet.

Isopods and Their Terrestrial Environment

1987
Publisher 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 ...
