Comparison of exploratory behavior of two different animal species: woodlice (Armadillidium vulgare) and Rats (Rattus norvegicus)

open access: yesInternational Journal of Comparative Psychology, 2022
Exploratory behavior is a commonly used instrument in the study of animal behavior in the laboratory, usually using rodents. The goal of the present study was to investigate the exploratory behavior of woodlice (Armadillidium vulgare) and compare to the ...

Population Genetics of an Endemic Species <i>Mongoloniscus sinensis</i> (Isopoda: Oniscidea) and Diversification Dynamics Across Northern China. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
We explored the population genetics and demographic history of an isopod species endemic in temperate China on the basis of three mitochondrial genes. Three clusters were identified. The Midland group has the highest genetic diversity, and the greatest differentiation between the East and West groups was due to the geographical barrier caused by the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Don't You Know That I'm Toxic? Wild Birds Learn to Avoid a Novel Aposematic Warning Signal. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
The foraging behaviours of predators towards aposematic prey have been studied extensively and there is much empirical evidence to support this theory. Often, studies involving wild species are relatively short‐term and so there is a possibility that any aversive behaviours exhibited by predators are merely neophobic. In this study, we ensure predators

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.
