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 ...

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 ...

The Transpiration of Terrestrial Isopods [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 1955 ABSTRACT The transpiration of three species of Isopoda has been investigated ; Armadillidium shows the highest resistance to desiccation, Oniscus the least, and Porcellio is intermediate. The permeability of isopod cuticle is limited by lipoids which impregnate the endocuticle.
