Effects of moisture decrease on behavioural and life history traits in three species of terrestrial isopods
Open accessAbstract
AbstractIn the context of the predicted global warming, we investigated whether the feeding activity and the behaviour of three Oniscidean species (Porcellionides pruinosus, Porcellio laevis and Armadillidium tunisiense) would be affected by the relative humidity (RH) decrease. A decreasing gradient of relative humidity (90%, 70% and 50%) was used to study the impact of predicted climate change on the survival rate, litter consumption rate, growth efficiency, faeces production, localization and stress behaviour within woodlice. After 3 weeks of exposure, we found that all species were variously affected by the RH decrease. The species A. tunisiense showed to be the least affected by the increased dry conditions. In driest conditions, woodlice spend less time at foraging inducing a low rate of litter consumption and faeces production. Perhaps, the authors findings could contribute to changes in the decomposition process and then the soil functionality.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
