The Response of Terrestrial Arthropods to Natural and Anthropogenically Altered Disturbance and Stress Regimes in Riparian Zones: A Systematic Review

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 9, September 2026.
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)

open access: yes, 2020
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.

Toxicity of the organophosphorous insecticide chlormephos to the earthworm Eisenia andrei and the terrestrial isopod Porcellio scaber

open access: yesActa Biologica Slovenica, 2009
In the present study we determined the toxicity of chlormephos to two common soil organisms – earthworms (Eisenia andrei) and isopods(Porcellio scaber) using Lufa 2.2 soil.

Widespread Association of Ciliates Colonizing Gills of Shrimps Inhabiting Vents and Seeps Across the Pacific Ocean

open access: yesJournal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
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

open access: yesJournal of Basic and Applied Zoology, 2015
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

Do Parasite Effects on Fish Body Condition Depend on Host Size and External Temperature? A Meta‐Analytic Approach

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, Volume 330, Issue 1, Page 32-40, September 2026.
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.

Variation in body size of terrestrial isopods (crustacea: oniscidea) and application of ecogeographical rules

open access: yes, 2010
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 ...
