DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6276
Abstract: Abstract Behavioral innovation is a key process for successful colonization of new habitat types. However, it is costly due to the necessary cognitive and neural demands and typically connected to ecological generalism. Therefore, loss of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2017.01.137
Abstract: In the present study a biological "in vivo" assay, with freshwater isopod Asellus aquaticus, was used to define and evaluate the potential impact of the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) wastewaters on local wildlife. Samples of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2018.10.025
Abstract: Abstract Chemical and natural factors have been demonstrated to interact and potentially change the toxicity of the individual stressors. Yet, while there exists a multitude of papers studying the temperature‐dependent toxicity of single chemicals, little… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s003118202200124x
Abstract: Abstract Abstract We conducted a molecular survey on microsporidian diversity in different lineages (operational taxonomic units = OTUs) of Asellus aquaticus from 30 sites throughout Europe. Host body length was determined, and DNA was extracted… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/eva.13540
Abstract: Human activity is a major driver of ecological and evolutionary change in wild populations and can have diverse effects on eukaryotic organisms as well as on environmental and host‐associated microbial communities. Although host–microbiome interactions can… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.15987
Abstract: Organisms well suited for the study of ecotype formation have wide distribution ranges, where they adapt to multiple drastically different habitats repeatedly over space and time. Here we study such ecotypes in a Crustacean model,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/genes11010042
Abstract: Cave animals are a fascinating group of species often demonstrating characteristics including reduced eyes and pigmentation, metabolic efficiency, and enhanced sensory systems. Asellus aquaticus, an isopod crustacean, is an emerging model for cave biology. Cave… read more here.
