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

First North American record of the Palaearctic rhinophorid Stevenia deceptoria (Loew) (Diptera: Rhinophoridae) [PDF]
The Rhinophoridae (Diptera) have a cosmopolitan distribution and a known fauna of about 150 species (Cerretti & Pape 2007). So far as known, all species are parasitoids of terrestrial woodlice (sow bugs) of the order Isopoda (Oniscoidea) (Pape 2010 ...

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]
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

Distribution of Terrestrial Isopods (Crustacea: Isopoda) Throughout Michigan: Early Results [PDF]
Results are reported from the first two years of a multi-year study on the distribution of terrestrial isopods (Crustacea: Isopoda) in Michigan. During the first year of the study (1997), intensive investigations were carried out using pitfall traps in ...

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