Abnormal Reproduction in Woodlice
Nature, 1947Under 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.

Cutaneous Respiration in Woodlice
Journal of Experimental Biology, 1955ABSTRACT Oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide output were measured in the woodlice Ligia oceanica, Oniscus asellus, Porcellio scaber and Armadillidium vulgare, in moist and in dry air, using normal animals and animals whose pleopods had been blocked by emulsion paint. In moist air, the rate of oxygen uptake which occurred through the general

Turn alternation in woodlice (Porcellio scaber)
Animal Behaviour, 1967Abstract It was shown that response alternation frequency in woodlice became higher with the number of prior forced turns in one direction, but was unaffected by varied distance between the start and a forced turn. However, the frequency became lower with increased distance between a forced turn and a choice point, and also with detention following a

Abstract 1. 1. It is shown experimentally that locomotion is influenced by external contact. 2. 2. Thigmokinetic reactions are part of the behaviour pattern and distinct from humidity reactions though their effects may be similar. 3. 3. Thigmokinetic behaviour varies with the species and with relative humidity.

THE structure and function of the rectal glands of insects have been investigated by several workers1. Later, Wigglesworth2 studied these glands more thoroughly in a number of species. No report, however, has yet appeared in the literature regarding the presence of rectal glands in woodlice (Crustacea : Isopoda), although Edney3 stated : “the faecal ...

‘Weber's Glands’ and Respiration in Woodlice
Nature, 1950THE 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 ...

IT is well known that in insects during the process of moulting or ecdysis there is a thin plasma or moulting fluid. "When the epidermal cells separate from the old cuticle and begin to secrete the new, the space between the two cuticles is occupied by a thin plasma.

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.
