The Absorption of Water by Woodlice [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 1954 ABSTRACT Experiments were undertaken to determine the site of water uptake, and the conditions in which it occurs, in Ligia oceanica, Oniscus asellus, Porcellio scaber and Armadillidium vulgare. Besides absorbing water with moist food, all four species were capable of active imbibition of water through both mouth and anus when a free ...

Avoidance behaviour toxicity tests should account for animal gregariousness: a case study on the terrestrial isopod Porcellio scaber [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2022 Avoidance behaviour enables woodlice to escape suboptimal environmental conditions and to mitigate harmful effects of pollutants. However, several studies have shown that at least in some woodlice species the tendency to aggregate can lead to suboptimal ...
