Stressor-Dependant Changes in Immune Parameters in the Terrestrial Isopod Crustacean, Porcellio scaber: A Focus on Nanomaterials

open access: yesNanomaterials, 2021
We compared the changes of selected immune parameters of Porcellio scaber to different stressors. The animals were either fed for two weeks with Au nanoparticles (NPs), CeO2 NPs, or Au ions or body-injected with Au NPs, CeO2 NPs, or lipopolysaccharide ...

On the fauna of woodlice (Crustacea: Isopoda: Oniscidea) of south-eastern Belarus

open access: yesТрансформация экосистем, 2019
Seven species of woodlice have been found in the south-eastern Belarus during studies conducted in 2013–2018. Two of these species were found in territory of the republic for the first time: Armadillidium vulgare (Latreille, 1804) (fam.

Avoidance behaviour toxicity tests should account for animal gregariousness: a case study on the terrestrial isopod Porcellio scaber [PDF]

open access: yesZooKeys, 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 ...

Increased Turn Alternation by Woodlice ( Porcellio scaber ) in Response to a Predatory Spider, Dysdera crocata [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
The common garden woodlouse ( Porcellio scaber ) is known to alternate turns (correcting behaviour), but the function of this behaviour is only poorly understood.

Effect of a delay following handling and exposure to a new testing situation on the behaviour of woodlice

open access: yes
Behavioural experiments, whether conducted in the laboratory or in the wild, often involve altering the context for the organisms. Such constraints may include environmental changes or manipulation by experimenters.

Aggregation in woodlice: social interaction and density effects

open access: yesZooKeys, 2012
Terrestrial isopods are known to be sensitive to humidity, brightness or temperature. Until now, aggregation was assumed to depend on these sensitivities as a result of individual preferences.
