Woodlice change the habitat use of spiders in a different food chain [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Background In old field systems, the common woodlouse may have an indirect effect on a nursery web spider. Woodlice and nursery web spiders feed in different food chains, yet previous work demonstrated that the presence of woodlice is correlated with ...

Predator responses to artificial aposematic and cryptic colouration in terrestrial isopods (Isopoda, Oniscidea) [PDF]
ZooKeysAposematism is a distinctive or warning signal that provides the animal with protection against a potential predator. Aposematic colouration is easier for a predator to remember and to avoid a dangerous and/or unpalatable prey in the future.
