Bug cemetery: a case study of terrestrial isopod distribution on a brick wall in the Czech Republic [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2022 Although terrestrial isopods (Oniscidea) are primarily soil- and surface-dwelling invertebrates, they can also be found on tree trunks and walls. This study evaluated distribution patterns of terrestrial isopods on a brick wall during the first hours of ...

The terrestrial isopod fauna of Cheharmahal-va-Bakhtiyari Province [PDF]
علوم محیطی, 2020 Introduction: Terrestrial isopods constitute the largest suborder in the order Isopoda and, as one of the main groups of soil decomposers, have an important role in acceleration of plant material recycling. Due to the shortage of studies on this taxon in

Surprisingly high genetic divergence of the mitochondrial DNA barcode fragment (COI) within Central European woodlice species (Crustacea, Isopoda, Oniscidea) [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2022 DNA barcoding has become the most popular approach for species identification in recent years. As part of the German Barcode of Life project, the first DNA barcode library for terrestrial and freshwater isopods from Germany is presented.

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 ...

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 ...

Intersexuality in a natural population of the terrestrial isopod Porcellio scaber [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2022 Intersex phenotypes are rarely observed in natural isopod populations and their expression is typically associated with infection ofWolbachia, a reproductive parasite that manipulates arthropod reproduction. During an intensive sampling effort of a natural population of the isopodPorcellio scaber, an adult individual was isolated that expressed both ...

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 ...
