Cladistics, EarlyView.Abstract Replicated pairs of ancestral and evolutionarily derived populations provide opportunities to test hypotheses about the deterministic laws of evolution. The Asellus aquaticus species complex is an invertebrate model system with several independent surface‐to‐cave transitions and a complicated and unresolved evolutionary history.

Terrestrial isopods (Isopoda: Oniscidea) in the Upper Mežica valley
Natura SloveniaeThe distribution of terrestrial isopods in many parts of Slovenia is still poorly documented. This article is a contribution to the knowledge of the terrestrial isopod fauna in the Upper Mežica Valley, which is known for its long mining tradition ...

The Keystone‐Pathogen Hypothesis Updated: The Role of Porphyromonas gingivalis in Periodontitis
Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.Porphyromonas gingivalis orchestrates a coordinated manipulation of immune and inflammatory responses in periodontal tissues which leads to the generation of a dysbiotic, subgingival biofilm community, and progression of periodontitis. The type 9 secretion system, lipid A modification, and the formation of outer membrane vesicles are important ...

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.Evaluating relationships between host body condition indices (BCIs) and parasite infections is a common approach for assessing the negative effects of parasites on host health. Researchers generally expect negative correlations between BCIs and infection levels; however, empirical results are often highly variable among host–parasite systems.

Understanding marine biodiversity patterns and drivers: The fall of Icarus
Marine Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Biodiversity patterns are fundamental in our understanding of the distribution of life, ecosystem function, and conservation. In this concept analysis, A survey of the existing knowledge on marine biodiversity patterns and drivers across latitudes, longitudes, and depths indicates that none of the postulated patterns represent a rule.

Terrestrial isopods (Crustacea, Isopoda, Oniscidea) from Mesovoid Shallow Substratum habitats of Portugal [PDF]
Subterranean BiologyThe Mesovoid Shallow Substratum (MSS) is a largely unknown subterranean habitat formed by the accumulation of rock fragments in steep slopes. In this study, we investigated the diversity, abundance and seasonal dynamics of terrestrial isopods in MSS ...

A preliminary checklist of terrestrial isopods (Isopoda; Oniscidea) from Iran [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Animal Biosystematics, 2018 In the present study, a species list of identified terrestrial isopods in the fauna of Iran is provided based on the literature records. The list contains 45 species belonging to 25 genera and 11 families, of which two genera and 21 species are endemic ...
