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 ...

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
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
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 ...

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 ...

Avaliação ecotoxicológica de misturas de pesticidas [PDF]
Doutoramento em BiologiaNeste trabalho o risco da aplicação de moluscicidas (metaldeído e metiocarbe) para o isópode terrestre Porcellionides pruinosus foi avaliado usando como parâmetros a mortalidade e biomarcadores de exposição. O tempo até à morte

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