ABSTRACT Riparian zones are vital for biodiversity and are increasingly threatened by natural and human‐induced factors that disrupt their structure and function. Arthropods, as dominant terrestrial organisms in these habitats, are essential for ecosystem services, influencing connectivity between terrestrial and aquatic webs, and are sensitive ...

Forest affinity of Belgian terrestrial isopods (Isopoda: Oniscidea)
Categorizing species with respect to their affinity to forest ecosystems can help to assess forest habitat quality and support scientifically based decision-making for management.

ABSTRACT Bacterial symbiosis is well‐documented in chemosynthesis‐based ecosystems, but associations with microeukaryotes remain overlooked. In this study, using scanning electron microscopy and 18S rDNA barcoding, we investigate the presence, diversity, and biogeographic patterns of ciliate epibionts associated with two deep‐sea caridean families ...

Effects of terrestrial isopods (Crustacea: Oniscidea) on leaf litter decomposition processes
The leaf litter decomposition is carried out by the combined action of microorganisms and decomposer invertebrates such as earthworms, diplopods and isopods. The present work aimed to evaluate the impact of terrestrial isopod on leaf litter decomposition

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.

Body size is the most important feature of all organisms and in this study is represented by the variables “body length” and “body width”. Bergmann’s Rule is a hypothesis concerning body size increase with latitude for homeotherms, whereas geographic ...
