"Philosciidae" (Crustacea: Isopoda: Oniscidea)
Org. Divers. Evol. 1, Electr. Suppl. 4: 1 -85 (2001) © Gesellschaft für Biologische Systematik http://www.senckenberg.uni-frankfurt.de/odes/01-04.htm Phylogeny and Biogeography of South American Crinocheta, traditionally placed in the family "Philosciidae" (Crustacea: Isopoda: Oniscidea) Andreas Leistikow1 Universität Bielefeld, Abteilung für Zoomorphologie und Systematik Received 15 February 2000 . Accepted 9 August 2000. Abstract South America is diverse in climatic and thus vegetational zonation, and even the uniformly looking tropical rain forests are a mosaic of different habitats depending on the soils, the regional climate and also the geological history. An important part of the nutrient webs of the rain forests is formed by the terrestrial Isopoda, or Oniscidea, the only truly terrestrial taxon within the Crustacea. They are important, because they participate in soil formation by breaking up leaf litter when foraging on the fungi and bacteria growing on them. After a century of research on this interesting taxon, a revision of the terrestrial isopod taxa from South America and some of the Antillean Islands, which are traditionally placed in the family Philosciidae, was performed in the last years to establish monophyletic genera. Within this study, the phylogenetic relationships of these genera are elucidated in the light of phylogenetic systematics. Several new taxa are recognized, which are partially neotropical, partially also found on other continents, particularly the old Gondwanian fragments. The monophyla are checked for their distributional patterns which are compared with those patterns from other taxa from South America and some correspondence was found. The distributional patterns are analysed with respect to the evolution of the Oniscidea and also with respect to the geological history of their habitats. -

In Memory of Emil G. Racovitza (1868–1947) – His Ideas Reverberate in Our Scientific Research
IN MEMORY OF EMIL G. RACOVITZA (1868–1947) – HIS IDEAS REVERBERATE IN OUR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IONEL G. TABACARU*, DAN L. DANIELOPOL** AND ILINCA JUVARA-BALŞ*** Abstract. The ideas of E. G. Racovitza which led to the development of biospelaeology (biospeology, is the term used by Racovitza and adopted here) are reviewed. We emphasize the important research programme named Biospeologica which allowed to implement practical investigations on the subterranean animals due to enthusiastic cooperative work of many scientists. It leads to the exploration of many caves and other hypogean habitats. It is stressed out that the aim of Racovitza’s efforts was to stimulate scientists to contribute with their research to the development of an encyclopedic view of the “Natural History of the Subterranean Domain”. Examples from our own research reflect such ideas. We adopted Racovitza’s views on the phylogenetic systematics, on the way to identify the relict aspect displayed by many subterranean animal groups. Also it is pointed out the importance of Racovitza’s ideas for reconstruction of the dynamic dispersion of homogeneous phylogenetic animal lineages in time and space. Such ideas help us to develop biogeographic scenarios which are important for understanding earth’s history. It is confirmed this way that the ambitious programme of Racovitza, became during the time a real research tradition that merits being pursued by young naturalists interested in solving exciting problems related to the origin and evolution of the subterranean domain and its ecosystems. Key words: Racovitza’s Biospeology, phylogenetic systematics, the subterranean domain, relict fauna, biogeographic patterns, Biospeologica – research tradition. 1.

ZooKeys 801: 359–370. https://doi. org/10.3897/zookeys.801.23391 Abstract The special environmental conditions of caves provide habitat for several endemic and relict species, among them terrestrial isopods. The Baradla Cave system (north-eastern Hungary) hosts Mesoniscus grani- ger (Frivaldszky, 1865) (Oniscidea, Microcheta, Mesoniscidae), a pygmy, blind, fragile troglophile wood- lice species. Its stable environment can be characterised by the lack of light, high relative humidity (96%), low and constant temperature (about 10 °C). We explored the population characteristics (sex ratio, size distribution) and life history traits of the species (e.g. longevity, reproductive strategy, offspring number, and size). Sex ratio and size distribution of the individuals (head-width measurements) were estimated based on a yearly pooled pitfall-trap data set (N = 677). -
Checklist of the Terrestrial Isopods of the New World (Crustacea, Isopoda, Oniscidea)
Checklist of the terrestrial isopods of the new world (Crustacea, Isopoda, Oniscidea) Andreas Leistikow 1,2 Johann Wolfgang Wagele 2 ABSTRACT. A check-list of all the American Oniscidea known to the authors and their quotation in literature is presented. The species account comprises notes on species' distribution and a revise d synonymy. As far as possible comments on taxonomic problems are given. The species are ascribed to the families which are commonly recognised, despite many of them are paraphyletic constructions. This check-list should support the work of both ecologists and ta xonomist when dealing with New World Oniscidea. KEY WORDS. Tsopoda, American Oniscidea, taxonomy, biodiversity, check-list The suborder Oniscidea is one of the most important within the Isopoda with almost half of all known species of Isopoda belonging to it. The members of Oniscidea play an important role in terrestrial ecosystems, especially in the tropics. They are destruents occurring in great numbers and so me we re able to adapt to man. Therefore, they became anthropophilous and are cosmopolitically di stributed like Porcellionides pruinosus (Brandt, 1833) and Cubaris //'Iurina Brandt, 1833. A first attempt to review the distributional patterns of Oniscidea had been made by VANDEL (1945), but until thi s time the knowledge on the distribution and diversity of terrestrial isopoda has increased considerably in the last decades. Unfortunately, there are no new monographic works on the suborder. At least, there are check- li sts on Oniscidea from Oceania (JACKSON 1941) and Ati'ica south of the Sahara (FERRARA & TAITI 1978). For the Americas, the last review on fresh water and terrestrial iso pods was undertaken by V AN NAME (\936, 1940, 1942). -

Cavernicolous Oniscidea of Romania
CAVERNICOLOUS ONISCIDEA OF ROMANIA IONEL TABACARU, ANDREI GIURGINCA Abstract. 35 species of cavernicolous Oniscidea inhabit the caves of Romania. A remarkable aspect of the oniscidean fauna is the high number of endemic species. The endemic species of Oniscidea from Romania form two groups: Carpathian endemites and Dobrogean endemites. Key words: Oniscidaea, Romanian Caves. 1. INTRODUCTION Isopoda are one of the most important orders of the Malacostraca by their great number of species (over 10,000), but also by the diversity of structural types and by their various ways of life. The isopods live in seas and oceans, from the sea- shore and the interstitial to abyssal, in surface and subterranean anchialine and fresh waters, and in terrestrial environments. There are also parasitic species on fishes and other Crustaceans, including other Isopoda. The order Isopoda presents the highest number of suborders among the other orders of the Malacostraca, due to their great diversity of structural types. Following the classifications of various authors, the order Isopoda includes 9, 10 or 11 suborders. In the same time, the structural diversity led some authors to doubt the orders monophyly. Recent cladistics analyses (TABACARU & DANIELOPOL, 1999, 2011, 2012; WILSON, 2009) argue for the monophyly of the Isopoda by numerous synapomorphies: respiratory pleopods, antennule without accessory flagellum, uniramous pereiopods without epipodites, thoraco-abdominal heart, two-phase molting. There are different opinions regarding the relationships of the order Isopoda with the other orders of the Malacostraca. Some authors consider Isopoda as a sister-group of the order Amphipoda or even regard these two groups of crustaceans as suborders in a sole order, the Edriophthalma.
