More generally,Wolbachiaendosymbionts are known to be widespread in terrestrial isopods27,28, suggesting that these bacteria may have been involved in sex chromosome transitions in species other thanA.vulgare. Our results on the distribution of sex determination systems in the terrestrial isopod phylogen...
Comparing the cases of Dilaridae, Berothidae and Mantispidae with other representatives of Euarthropoda reveals that similarly extreme cases occur in termites (Isoptera; Fig. 1I), ants (Formicidae; Fig. 1H) and ticks (Acari; Fig. 1F). Blood-feeding isopodan crustaceans (Gnathiidae; Fig...
In the case of parasitic gnathiid isopods, in addition to the direct effects on hosts via tissue damage and blood loss33, they can also function as vectors of diseases68,69,70. Understanding the spatial scales at which these potential vectors may spread and how major disturbances might alter...
A common observation in brine pools are dead and preserved bodies of fish, crabs, mussels, octopus, isopods, and other organisms9,17,18,19. Deep sea brine pools originate primarily in two ways: from dissolution and upward seepage of near-seafloor salt bodies20,21 or from dissolution of ...
Biparental care is relatively rare but appears taxonomically widespread across a number of invertebrate (e.g. some species of isopods, wood roaches, wasps and beetles) and vertebrate species (e.g. 90% of all birds, 23% of fish and 5% of mammals)1, 2. In such species, both parents pro...
“climatic relict” theory has been useful to explain other such close relationships between troglophilic and epigean taxa, such as springtails, isopods, schizomids, pseudoscorpions, and ground beetles in Western Australia17,33. This theory suggests that cool-adapted epigean ancestors were gradually ...

Stomach content analysis of gray whales hunted in different parts of the Bering Sea, for example, revealed the ingestion of more than 19 genera of invertebrates, comprising amphipods, polychaetes, decapods, isopods, sponges, hydrozoas etc.16. Swarming species, such as cumaceans, mysids, krill,...
Time series analysis on simulation outcomes show that the RPS game is mostly driven by a single strategy, but the importance of this strategy on long term dynamics is stronger when gene expression shows dominance rather than plasticity.Similar content being viewed by others Natural averaging may ...
