Benefits of aggregation in woodlice: a factor in the terrestrialization process?

Insectes Sociaux, 2013
In the animal kingdom, living in group is driven by a tradeoff between the costs and the benefits of this way of life. This review focuses especially on the benefits of aggregation and crowding in woodlice (Crustacea: Isopoda: Oniscidea). Indeed, woodlice are well known to live in groups.

WOODLICE AND THE LAND HABITAT

Biological Reviews, 1954
SummaryA comparative study of woodlice which show different degrees of fitness for terrestrial life provides information about the evolution of land faunas and underlines the significance of water relations in this respect.Species of woodlice differ as regards rates of transpiration and survival in dry air.

Preference for rich, random tactile stimulation in woodlice (Porcellio scaber)

Learning and Motivation, 2013
peer reviewedAll living beings exhibit preferences for a variety of biologically significant stimuli. Interestingly, stimuli without biological significance, such as saccharine, are also able to induce preferences in vertebrates.

Accurate determination of Cd, Cr, Cu and Ni in woodlice and their skins—is moulting a means of detoxification?

Science of the Total Environment, 2005
Cd, Cr, Cu and Ni were determined in two different species of woodlice: Porcellio scaber and Porcellio dilatatus. Both P. scaber and P. dilatatus were cultivated under standardized conditions in a climatic chamber.

Abnormal Reproduction in Woodlice

Nature, 1947
Under this heading I recorded in 19431 an instance where, without incubating in the brood pouch, a female specimen of Armadillidium nasatum, Budde-Lund produced a bunch of forty to forty-five eggs which duly hatched and produced normal young. Later, another female of the same species produced twenty eggs in a like manner, all of which duly hatched.

‘Weber's Glands’ and Respiration in Woodlice

Nature, 1950
THE view has long been held that certain tegumental glands in woodlice, known as ‘Weber's glands’, play an important part in respiration, and have been evolved in adaptation to terrestrial life. This conception appears to be wholly mistaken. It seems to have originated in a misreading of the literature, and although widely accepted there is little ...
