OniscidBase: A call for contributions to a global database to advance terrestrial isopod research
Soil OrganismsTerrestrial isopods (Isopoda: Oniscidea), commonly known as woodlice, are among the most recognisable soil-dwelling invertebrates and are crucial for soil functioning.

Demography of some non-native isopods (Crustacea, Isopoda, Oniscidea) in a Mid-Atlantic forest, USA [PDF]
, 2015 Introduced species dominate the terrestrial isopod fauna in most inland habitats of North America, including urban landscapes. These non-native species are often very abundant and thus potentially play a significant role in detritus processing.

Terrestrial isopods (Isopoda, Crustacea) from the “Danube Delta” Biosphere Reserve
Studia Universitatis Babeș-Bolyai. Biologia, 2018 The authors describe the fauna of terrestrial isopods and the habitats analysed in 13 sites located in the Biosphere Reserve “Danube Delta”: Letea Forest, Periprava Village, the Levees Maliuc, Caraorman, Dunavăţ, Sfântu Gheorghe, Sacalin Island, Popina ...

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

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

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.

Widespread Wolbachia infection in terrestrial isopods and other crustaceans [PDF]
, 2012 Wolbachia bacteria are obligate intracellular alpha-Proteobacteria of arthropods and nematodes. Although widespread among isopod crustaceans, they have seldom been found in non-isopod crustacean species.

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations
Insect Science, EarlyView.This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Species richness declined along cave microclimatic gradient, while diversity increased with habitat heterogeneity, highlighting distinct roles of abiotic conditions and structural complexity in shaping arthropod communities. Functional traits shifted along the microclimatic gradient, with larger‐bodied and more eye‐regressed arthropods dominating under
