Terrestrial isopods (Oniscidea) represent a widespread group of land Crustacea that have
been able to successfully adapt to the terrestrial environment and occupy newly formed …

The unique properties of terrestrial isopods regarding responses to limiting factors such as
drought and temperature have led to interesting distributional patterns along climatic and …

 Abstract Terrestrial crustaceans are represented by approximately 4,900 species from six
main lineages. The diversity of terrestrial taxa ranges from a few genera in Cladocera and …

Soil invertebrates make up diverse communities living in soil pores and on the soil surface,
digging burrows and tunnels, processing organic matter and interacting with microbes. Soil …

Marine isopod fossils represent a small component of the crustacean fossil record,
contrasting the exceptional modern diversity of marine representatives of Isopoda …

Biological transportation networks must balance competing functional priorities. The self-
organizing mechanisms used to generate such networks have inspired scalable algorithms …

Social aggregative behaviour may have evolved in marine isopods to aid hunting, and help
the animals protect themselves from predation. This social behaviour could have assisted …

Individuals in social groups can gain benefits from being in those groups, including an
increased ability to find food and avoid predators. We tested for potential group benefits in …

Interactions between sub-groups (species, strains) have been reported in many species
among many taxae. We propose a generic model based on earlier experiments accounting …

How mixed-species groups perform collective behaviours provides unique insights into the
mechanisms that drive social interactions. Herein, we followed the aggregation process of …
