Endemic species of terrestrial isopods (Isopoda, Crustacea) in the Romanian fauna

Studia Universitatis Babeș-Bolyai. Biologia, 2018
In the Romanian fauna 32 endemic species of terrestrial isopods were described; most of them are epigenous, few are troglobiont, troglophilous and edaphic species.

Study of the diversity of Terrestrial Isopods in the Oasis Agrosystems of Tunisia

Journal of Oasis Agriculture and Sustainable Development, 2022
In this study, several sampling campaigns of terrestrial isopods were carried out in different oases of southern Tunisia as well as in other sites outside the oases.

Gold nanoparticles do not induce adverse effects on terrestrial isopods Porcellio scaber after 14-day exposure

Acta Biologica Slovenica, 2016
Despite the anticipated environmental release of anthropogenic gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), there is currently not enough data on their potential impact on terrestrial environment.

Evidence for the evolution of thermal tolerance, but not desiccation tolerance, in response to hotter, drier city conditions in a cosmopolitan, terrestrial isopod

Evolutionary Applications, 2021
Cities are often hotter and drier compared with nearby undeveloped areas, but how organisms respond to these multifarious stressors associated with urban heat islands is largely unknown.

OniscidBase: A call for contributions to a global database to advance terrestrial isopod research

Soil Organisms
Terrestrial isopods (Isopoda: Oniscidea), commonly known as woodlice, are among the most recognisable soil-dwelling invertebrates and are crucial for soil functioning.

Neotropical woodlice (isopoda) colonizing leaf-litter of pioneer plants in a coal residue disposal environment

Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2011
The irregular disposal of coal combustion residues has adverse impacts on terrestrial ecosystems. Pioneer plants and soil invertebrates play an important role in the recovery of these areas.

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.

A new genus and species of terrestrial isopod (Isopoda: Oniscidea) found in Baltic amber

European Journal of Taxonomy
The knowledge of fossil terrestrial isopods is of rudimentary nature and the diversity of terrestrial isopods in the geological past is poorly represented in the current taxonomy of the suborder.

Brain anatomy of the marine isopod Saduria entomon Linnaeus, 1758 (Valvifera, Isopoda) with special emphasis on the olfactory pathway

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2013
Representatives of at least six crustacean taxa managed to establish a terrestrial life style during their evolutionary history and the Oniscidea (Isopoda) are currently held as the most successfully terrestrialized malacostracan crustaceans.

Patterns of taxonomic diversity among terrestrial isopods. [PDF]

Zookeys, 2015
The publication of the world catalog of terrestrial isopods some ten years ago by Schmalfuss has facilitated research on isopod diversity patterns at a global scale. Furthermore, even though we still lack a comprehensive and robust phylogeny of Oniscidea, we do have some useful approaches to phylogenetic relationships among major clades which can offer
