Abstract: Woodlice placed in an unknown experimental enclosure typically run (horizontal exploration) and rear up on the enclosure's walls (vertical exploration). Previous findings with Porcellio scaber indicate that these two behaviors have an opposite temporal distribution… read more here.

Abstract: Terrestrial isopods have evolved pleopodal lungs that provide access to the rich aerial supply of oxygen. However, isopods occupy conditions with wide and unpredictable thermal and oxygen gradients, suggesting that they might have evolved adaptive… read more here.
