Habitat Isolation Influences Population Structure of Intertidal Crustaceans and Molluscs on Boulder‐Dominated Rocky Shores in SE Brazil

open access: yesMarine Ecology, Volume 47, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT On sheltered rocky shores in SE Brazil, variation in habitat configuration (non‐isolated vs. isolated boulders) acts as a natural exclusion experiment on a key isopod consumer, leading to potential interspecific competitive release. The semiterrestrial grazing isopod Ligia exotica forages almost exclusively on non‐isolated boulders, resulting ...

Assemblages of terrestrial isopods (Isopoda, Oniscidea) in a fragmented forest landscape in Central Europe

open access: yesZooKeys, 2012
Terrestrial isopods were collected in 13 forest fragments differing in area (within the range of 0.1 and 254.5 ha), shape and composition of forest vegetation (thermophilous oak, mesophilous oak-hornbeam, thermophilous oak-hornbeam, acidophilous oak ...

Site‐specific climate responses of soil decomposer biodiversity in forests

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Climate change strongly impacts forest ecosystems, exacerbating drought stress, tree mortality, and shifts in species composition. While aboveground changes are well documented, belowground biodiversity and its response to climate‐driven alterations remain less studied.

Observations of Trachyzelotes pedestris (C.L. Koch, 1837) hunting for terrestrial isopods in Belgium

open access: yes, 2022
We report two sightings of Trachyzelotes pedestris catching or attempting to catch a terrestrial isopod of the species Porcellio scaber. Observations of oniscophagy are rare in most spider species and to our knowledge these are the first sightings of a ...

Continental accumulation of fads2 copy numbers allows sticklebacks to thrive across a diversity of nutritional landscapes

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Nutrients, including vital organic compounds, vary in availability across ecosystems, with the potential to act as a source of selection for traits that increase nutrient acquisition and biosynthesis. Compared to freshwaters, marine ecosystems are richer in the omega‐3 long‐chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (n‐3 LC‐PUFA) docosahexaenoic acid (DHA ...

Ecological studies of isopoda and diplopoda in dune grassland [PDF]

open access: yes, 1978
Distribution, population dynamics, biomass and population production of macrodecomposers have been studied in order to clarify the role of four species in the processes of energy transfer in a dune grassland ecosystem.

Detection of Wolbachia (ALPHA PROTEOBACTERIA: RICKETTSIALES) in three species of terrestrial isopods (CRUSTACEA: ISOPODA: ONISCIDEA) in Brazil [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Terrestrial isopods are widely infected with Wolbachia. However, little is known about the presence of bacteria in the Neotropical species. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis of presence of Wolbachia infection in the native species of
