Woodlice of Belgium: an annotated checklist and bibliography (Isopoda, Oniscidea) [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2018 Woodlice are key organisms for nutrient cycling in many terrestrial ecosystems; however, knowledge on this invertebrate group is limited as for other soil fauna taxa. Here, we present an annotated checklist of the woodlice of Belgium, a small but densely

Hypoxia causes woodlice (Porcellio scaber) to select lower temperatures and impairs their thermal performance and heat tolerance. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 Environmental temperatures and oxygen availability are important for the balance between oxygen supply and demand. Terrestrial organisms are generally perceived to be less limited by access to oxygen than their aquatic counterparts.

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

A Novel Light-Induced Collective Circular Movement in <i>Armadillo sordidus</i> Isopods. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe describe an interesting aggregative behavior in terrestrial isopods. We conclude that this behavior is in response to intense artificial lighting. ABSTRACT Collective movement in terrestrial isopods has rarely been documented and almost never discussed.

Determinants of Soil Microarthropod Community Biodiversity in the Svalbard High Arctic: Locality or Vegetation Community? [PDF]
Ecol EvolArctic ecosystems like Svalbard are rapidly changing, yet soil microarthropods remain difficult to monitor due to limited baseline data and demanding field and identification work. Using 172 soil samples from 33 localities, we tested whether vegetation maps could serve as proxies for soil microarthropod communities.

Ecology and Evolution, 2020 During development, cells may adjust their size to balance between the tissue metabolic demand and the oxygen and resource supply: Small cells may effectively absorb oxygen and nutrients, but the relatively large area of the plasma membrane requires ...

Survey of Synanthropic Spiders in Ireland Reveals Expansion and Dominance of the Invasive Noble False Widow <i>Steatoda nobilis</i> in Urban Habitats (Araneae: Theridiidae). [PDF]
Ecol EvolRapid urbanisation has facilitated the establishment of large populations of the Noble false widow spider outside of its native range through the use of synanthropic microhabitats. In Ireland, we survey these favourable microhabitats for spider diversity for the first time and find that the Noble false widow now typically makes up more than 40% of the ...
