Terrestrial Isopods (Isopoda: Oniscidea) from the Slovenian Karst
Natura 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 ...

Thermal and oxygen conditions during development cause common rough woodlice ("Porcellio scaber") to alter the size of their gas-exchange organs [PDF]
, 2020 Terrestrial isopods have evolved pleopodal lungs that provide access to the rich aerial supply of oxygen. However, isopods occupy conditions with wide and unpredictable thermal and oxygen gradients, suggesting that they might have evolved adaptive ...

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

A taste for exotic food: Neotropical land planarians feeding on an invasive flatworm [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 Invasive species establish successfully in new habitats especially due to their ability to include new species in their diet and due to the freedom from natural enemies. However, native species may also adapt to the use of new elements in their ecosystem.
