Characterizing prevalence and ecological impact of non-native terrestrial isopods (Isopoda, Oniscidea) in tallgrass prairie [PDF]
Isopods are terrestrial crustaceans whose role and impact in the tallgrass prairie ecosystem remains little explored despite being rather prevalent non-native inhabitants. To better understand this role, we conducted two related studies.

Crustacea, Isopoda, Oniscidea Latreille, 1802: new continent record and distribution extension in Brazil [PDF]
Terrestrial Isopods were sampled in four protected Atlantic Forest areas located in Serra do Mar, state of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil. A total of 2,217 individuals of six species (Atlantoscia sp., Benthana werneri, Pseudodiploexochus tabularis ...

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

We compared the traditional two‐dimensional (2D: δ13C and δ15N) isotopic niches with a three‐dimensional (3D: δ13C, δ15N, and δ34S) framework to evaluate changes in niche size and overlap. Overall, invertebrates and benthic‐associated species showed greater changes in niche size and reduced overlap using the 3D approach.

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 ...

From kelp forests to turf reefs: Patterns, drivers, and impacts to functional diversity
Abstract Kelp forests are declining in many regions due to ocean warming, predator loss, and other anthropogenic stressors. In areas of rapid ocean warming, including the southern Gulf of Maine, these ecosystems have transitioned to a novel state dominated by low‐lying mats of turf algae.
