Evidence for heterosis in woodlice

Journal of Genetics, 1962
As analysis of Howard’s data on the genetics ofArmadillidium vulgare gives strong evidence in favour of the view that heterozygotes are generally more viable than homozygotes in early life.

Aggregative behavior and intraspecific communication mediated by substrate-borne vibrations in terrestrial arthropods: An exploratory study in two species of woodlice.

Behavioural Processes, 2018
Gregarious behavior and aggregative phenomena among conspecifics in woodlice are thought to be a form of evolutionary adaptation to the terrestrial environment which has given these animals multiple advantages, e.g., against desiccation and predation ...

Evaporation of Water from Woodlice

Nature, 1949
THE presence of a waxy layer at or near the outer surface of the epicuticle of insects is well known, and its function in limiting the permeability of the insect integument to water has been fully demonstrated by Wigglesworth1, Beament2 and others. Yonge3 has demonstrated the effect of the epicuticle of certain Crustacea in determining permeability to ...

The Body Temperature of Woodlice

Journal of Experimental Biology, 1951
ABSTRACT Measurements by means of thermocouples, accurate to 0.1° C., were made of the body temperature of the woodlice Armadillidium, Porcellio, Oniscus and Ligia, and of the cockroach Blatta, both alive and dead, in a stream of saturated or dry air at both 20 and 37° C.

Storage mediums affect metal concentration in woodlice (Isopoda)

Environmental Pollution, 2003
Terrestrial invertebrates are becoming widely established as tools to assess heavy metal pollution at contaminated sites. A practical and time saving method to sample terrestrial invertebrates consist of pitfall traps, often filled with a 4% formaldehyde solution and some detergent.

Duration of Life of Woodlice

Nature, 1945
SOME little time ago I published a note on the duration of life of certain species of woodlice1 which had been studied by Major Stanley S. Flower and me, and it was there recorded that Major Flower had kept a specimen of Oniscus asellus Linn, (born in captivity) for approximately 4 years 8 months and 28 days or possibly 4 years 9 months 20 days.
