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 ...

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.

The influence of soil communities on the temperature sensitivity of soil respiration [PDF]

, 2018
Soil respiration represents a major carbon flux between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere, and is expected to accelerate under climate warming.

First North American record of the Palaearctic rhinophorid Stevenia deceptoria (Loew) (Diptera: Rhinophoridae) [PDF]

, 2015
The Rhinophoridae (Diptera) have a cosmopolitan distribution and a known fauna of about 150 species (Cerretti & Pape 2007). So far as known, all species are parasitoids of terrestrial woodlice (sow bugs) of the order Isopoda (Oniscoidea) (Pape 2010 ...

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.

Horizontal transfer of parasitic sex ratio distorters between crustacean hosts [PDF]

, 1998
Parasitic sex ratio distorters were artificially transferred within and between crustacean host species in order to study the effects of parasitism on host fitness and sex determination and to investigate parasite–host specificity. Implantation of Nosema

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.
