Investigations on the potential of woodlice as bioindicators of grassland habitat quality
, 2005 International audienceAs intensive land-use practices may reduce available leaf litter, woodlice-important decomposers of leaf litter-may show a loss of biomass and a decrease in number of species.

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 ...

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Herbivores are important drivers of plant community composition and dominance in grassy ecosystems, yet few studies have attempted to understand how different types of herbivores impact plant dominance and function. This study examined the biomass of dominant grass species and other plant functional groups after 3 years of nested herbivore ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Exploring heat tolerance and acclimation capacity can provide an effective approach to evaluating species’ sensitivity to extremely high temperatures due to climate warming. Despite some work on amphibian and reptile thermophysiological adaptation, related questions remain. We reviewed the literature to provide a synthesis of worldwide data on

Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 49, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Tail fan necrosis (TFN) is a shell disease affecting spiny lobsters' outer integument, with significant implications for the health and commercial viability of red rock lobsters (Jasus edwardsii) in New Zealand. Despite its impact, the potential role of a microbial agent in TFN remains poorly understood.

Woodlice assemblages of planted and native forests in central Italy
, 2011 Effects of reforestation on woodlice assemblages were studied in three ca. 20-year-old regenerating plantations and were compared to an old native mixed oak forest (Quercus cerris and Quercus frainetto) in Latium (central Italy).

Tag attachment reduces the initiation of recruitment in the rock ant, Temnothorax rugatulus
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.Tags did not significantly affect feeder visitation. In contrast, recruitment behaviour differed significantly, with tagged ants being less likely to engage in tandem runs than formerly tagged ants. Abstract Technological advances continue to push the boundaries of scientific inquiry in animal behaviour.
