New cave species of Pectenoniscus Andersson, 1960 (Isopoda: Oniscidea: Styloniscidae) and an identification key for the genus

open access: yesNauplius, 2020
The genus Pectenoniscus Andersson, 1960 currently presents two described species, one epigean, Pectenoniscus angulatus Andersson, 1960, from Nova Teutônia municipality, Santa Catarina state (Southern Brazil) and the hypogean Pectenoniscus liliae Campo ...

Ground-dwelling arthropod (Araneae, Coleoptera: Carabidae, Isopoda: Oniscidea) assemblages on Hungarian main road verges

open access: yesActa Universitatis Sapientiae: Agriculture and Environment, 2016
In this study, we research ground-dwelling arthropods along four road stretches, which represent the main verge habitats (arid grassland, agricultural area, forest, and wetland) of Hungary. Besides the faunistic investigation of arthropod communities, we

Cartographic analysis of woodlice fauna of the former USSR

open access: yesZooKeys, 2012
An inventory of the woodlice fauna of the former USSR yielded 190 species, 64 of them were recorded from the territory of Russia. According to the cartographic analysis, the limits of distribution of epigean terrestrial isopods over the area, excluding ...

Changes in cuticle structure during growth in two terrestrial isopods (Crustacea: Isopoda: Oniscidea)

open access: yesNauplius, 2020
Terrestrial isopods are a successful group of terrestrial crustaceans. Their exoskeletal cuticle has been studied in several species. However, it is not known whether the cuticle of these animals becomes thicker or how its structure changes as the ...

Effects of moisture decrease on behavioural and life history traits in three species of terrestrial isopods

open access: yesThe European Zoological Journal, 2023
In the context of the predicted global warming, we investigated whether the feeding activity and the behaviour of three Oniscidean species (Porcellionides pruinosus, Porcellio laevis and Armadillidium tunisiense) would be affected by the relative ...

Terrestrial Isopods (Isopoda: Oniscidea) from the Slovenian Karst

open access: yesNatura Sloveniae, 2005
Hand sorting was performed in 28 habitats of the Slovenian Karst during 2004. Twenty-three terrestrial isopod species were identified, two of which proved to be new for the Slovenian fauna, namely Trichoniscus matulici and Armadillidium nasatum ...

gene expression under low humidity conditions in woodlice

open access: yes, 2021
the genetic regulation of low humidity response in woodlice is a topic of great interest that should be investigated, therefore we aimed at analyzing gene expression patterns in common rough woodlice.

Artificial supplementary food influences hedgehog occupancy and activity patterns more than predator presence or natural food availability

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Supplementary feeding for declining hedgehog Erinaceus europaeus populations is popular in Great Britain and has been suggested as an important factor in explaining higher densities in urban areas compared with rural ones. Occupancy modelling was used to test whether spatial variation in supplementary feeding, natural food, habitat, or predator ...
