“…The alteration of habitats contributes to the changes in environmental factors, which affects food utilization, reproductive pattern [41], and the respiration of isopods. Isopods die in dry air because of the lack of O2, not desiccation [42].…”

Abstract. The aim of the present study was to examine the short-and long-term effects of changes in vegetation structure caused by shrub removal and mowing on isopod diversity and composition in Natura 2000 habitats of Mátra Landscape Protection Area. Species richness and isopod diversity increased in the short term as a result of annual changes in vegetation; however, the values of both indices were reduced in the long term. The changes in vegetation structure on a regional scale led to a reduced isopod diversity in the short and long term. The changes in vegetation structure caused alterations in community structure in the long term. We conclude that changes of vegetation structure have a negative effect on species richness and the diversity of isopod communities in the long term.

“…Our results demonstrate well that the annual changes in vegetation structure have positively affected isopod diversity and species richness in the short term but not in the long term. Thermal tolerance of isopods is affected by their genetic constitution, ability of acclimatization, and the ambient humidity [42].…”

“…This is an efficient system, allowing direct gas exchange with the internal organs and blood-so much so that a similar system has secondarily evolved from book lungs in some spiders (Schmitz and Perry 2001). Comparable structures called pseudotrachea are also found in woodlice, which are crustaceans of the order Isopoda (Edney 1968). Fig.…”

Early Terrestrial Animals, Evolution, and Uncertainty

Early terrestrial ecosystems record a fascinating transition in the history of life. Animals and plants had previously lived only in the oceans, but, starting approximately 470 million years ago, began to colonize the previously barren continents. This paper provides an introduction to this period in life's history, first presenting background information, before focusing on one animal group, the arthropods. It gives examples of the organisms living in early terrestrial communities and then outlines a suite of adaptations necessary for survival in harsh terrestrial environments. Emphasis is placed on the role of uncertainty in science; this is an integral part of the scientific process, yet is often seized upon by god-of-thegaps creationist arguments. We hope to illustrate the importance of both uncertainty and scientists' freedom to express doubt while a consensus is being built.

“…And finally quite a number of authors occupied themselves with detailed physiological and biochemical investigations: Edney (1964Edney ( , 1968, Wieser, Lindquist (1968), Juchault, Mocquard and colleagues in Poitiers, Hopkin (1990), Alikhan (1973), Warburg, Carefoot et al (1991), Katakura. For the special field of ecotoxicology check the publications and bibliographies of Hopkin and Hornung. You see that isopodology has developed in these last 70 years into a broad, manifold and complex biological science.…”

Even if we have written testimony that the ancient Greek intellectuals were already aware of the existence of woodlice, the history of scientific research on this group of animals starts 2000 years later. Beginning with Linnaeus, this survey portrays the more important researchers in this field, trying to outline the development from descriptive taxonomy into a broad field of biological science. Today isopodological research includes studies on ecology, behavior, nutritional biology, anatomy, functional morphology, neurology, physiology, biogeography, systematics, and phylogenetic analyses based on morphological and molecular data.
