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.

Individual preferences and social interactions determine the aggregation of woodlice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The aggregation of woodlice in dark and moist places is considered an adaptation to land life and most studies are focused on its functionality or on the behavioural mechanisms related to the individual's response to abiotic factors.
