Behavioural Contagion Explains Group Cohesion in a Social Crustacean. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2015 In gregarious species, social interactions maintain group cohesion and the associated adaptive values of group living. The understanding of mechanisms leading to group cohesion is essential for understanding the collective dynamics of groups and the ...

Altitudinal terrestrial isopod diversity
European Journal of Soil Biology, 2005 Abstract We have assessed the diversity of terrestrial isopods across an elevational and habitat gradient on Mt. Panachaiko (NW Peloponnisos, Greece). Previous knowledge on the biodiversity of this mountain was restricted to very few records of individual species, and no systematic sampling had ever been applied for any animal taxon.

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.

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 ...

Terrestrial Isopods from Ascension Island [PDF]
Monitore Zoologico Italiano. Supplemento, 1981 The terrestrial isopods collected on Ascension Island pertain to nine genera, including the new genus Atlantoscia (Philosciidae), and as many species including the new species Atlantoscia alceui (for Chaetophiloscia paulensis Vandel, 1963 nec Moreira, 1927) and Niambia duffeyi. Both the new genus and species are described.
