Eight new species of terrestrial isopods (Oniscidea) from the Islands of the central Aegean (Greece) are described in the present paper. One belongs to the family Trichoniscidae (Trichomscus oedipus n. sp.), one to the ...

The investigation of recently collected material of terrestrial isopods from Crete yielded 7 species new to science (Graeconiscus guanophilus n. sp., Graeconiscus kournasensis n. sp., Tra- chelipus cavaticus n. sp., ...

Environmental factors may affect animal performance in diverse ways, even among different populations of a single species. Here, we assess the impact of substrate type on the sprint performance (maximum speed and acceleration) ...

Ecosystems can respond in a variety of ways to the same agent of disturbance. In some con-texts,fire causes large and long-lasting changes to ecological communities. In others,fire has a limited orshort-lived impact on ...

Recently, Mainali et al. (2022, termed MSSF henceforth) proposed a new index of pair-wise species co-occurrence based on the log odds ratio α of conditional occurrence probability. Under the assumption that the total numbers ...

As ectotherms, lizards, among the best models in thermal studies, are influenced by many abiotic factors. Interestingly, there is a scarcity of data regarding the impact that insularity may have on thermoregulation. Islands, ...

This study is the first to explore monthly and seasonal succession of the zooplankton community in coastal waters of Cyprus using a 12-month period time series. A total of 192 taxa of mesozooplankton (MZ), 145 of which ...

Accounting more than 3,700 described species, Oniscidea is the largest and at the same time the only terrestrial isopod suborder inhabiting almost all terrestrial biomes. Despite the great effort dedicated on describing ...
