Biogeography of body size in terrestrial isopods (Crustacea: Oniscidea)
(2016)This study tries to unveil the contribution of climatic shift in shaping the extreme body size diversity in terrestrial isopods (Oniscidea). Trying to explain size variation at an interspecific level, we test five hypotheses: ...

A comparison of terrestrial isopod communities among different habitat types on Mt. Chelmos (Peloponnisos, Greece)
(2012)The mountainous communities of terrestrial isopods (Crustacea, Oniscidea) have not been ex-tensively studied so far, even though they can offer important insights to the structuring of iso-pod diversity, to the role of ...

Increased genetic diversity in Greek populations of the genus Ligidium (Crustacea: Isopoda: Oniscidea) revealed by RFLP analysis of mtDNA segments
(2006)We investigated mtDNA genetic differentiation and the phylogenetic relationships of 11 populations of the oniscidean genus Ligidium. We studied nine populations from Greece, assigned to three nominal species (L. euboicum, ...

The island rule is not valid in terrestrial isopods (Crustacea: Oniscidea)
(2017)The island rule posits that small animals grow larger on islands, whereas large-bodied ones are expected to dwarf, but remains largely unexplored in invertebrates. We tested the rule at an inter-specific level on terrestrial ...

A morphometric approach to the geographic variation of the terrestrial isopod species armadillo tuberculatus (Isopoda: Oniscidea)
(2009)The terrestrial isopod species Armadillo tuberculatus Vogl, 1876 (Crustacea, Isopoda, Oniscidea) is a widely polymorphic species distributed in the south-central Aegean region (Greece) with a different morph on each island. ...

Terrestrial isopods (Crustacea: Oniscidea) from the remote Greek island Antikithira and its surrounding islets
(Biodiversity Heritage Library, 1993-09)Terrestrial isopods from the southewestern Aegean islan group of Antikithira are recorded here for the first time. Collecting was done on three islands. Antikithira, Prassonisi and Lagouvardhos, and a total of 20 species ...
