The Tachinid Parasites of Woodlice
1. This paper comprises a study of the larval morphology and biology of the dipterous parasites of the terrestrial Isopods or woodlice.2.Porcellio scaberL.,Oniscus asellusL.,Metaponorthus pruinosusBrandt., andArmadillidium vulgareLat., were found to be attacked by one or more of the parasites.3. Seven dipterous parasites have been reared and identified

Personality affects defensive behaviour of Porcellio scaber (Isopoda, Oniscidea)
We evaluated individual behavioural patterns of isopods expressed as tonic immobility following some intrusive treatments. Common rough woodlice, Porcellio scaber, were kept individually in plastic boxes and tested for tonic immobility repeatedly ...

Lead and Cadmium in Soil and Isopoda Woodlice in Croatia
The aim of the study was to determine lead and cadmium concentrations in Isopoda woodlice and soil and to estimate their relation in the environment and the possibility of the use of isopods as biological indicators of pollution. Samples of isopods and soil were collected at two locations in Northern Croatia and analyzed for lead and cadmium.

Influence of Host Sex on Mycobiome Structure in Porcellio laevis Using Metabarcoding Analysis
Terrestrial isopods such as Porcellio laevis play a critical role in nutrient cycling and serve as habitats for diverse microbial communities. Although bacterial diversity in isopods has been widely studied, research on fungal diversity remains limited ...

A new genus and species of terrestrial isopod (Isopoda: Oniscidea) found in Baltic amber
The knowledge of fossil terrestrial isopods is of rudimentary nature and the diversity of terrestrial isopods in the geological past is poorly represented in the current taxonomy of the suborder.
