1. Litter traits and palatability to detritivores: a case study across bio-geographical boundaries
The activity of the litter-feeding macrofauna affects litter decomposition rates at the local scale, and their preference for particular litter types is mediated by litter traits. Environmental changes such as invasion by exotic plants may change the characteristics of the litter at a local scale, with consequences to ecosystem processes. Here we evaluated t

2. Detection of Wolbachia (Alphaproteobacteria: rickettsiales) in three species of terrestrial isopods (crustacea: isopoda: oniscidea) in Brazil
Terrestrial isopods are widely infected with Wolbachia. However, little is known about the presence of bacteria in the Neotropical species. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis of presence of Wolbachia infection in the native species of terrestrial isopods, Atlantoscia floridana and Circoniscus bezzii, and in the introduced species Burmonis

3. First record of Wolbachia in South American terrestrial isopods: prevalence and diversity in two species of Balloniscus (Crustacea, Oniscidea)
Wolbachia are endosymbiotic bacteria that commonly infect arthropods, inducing certain phenotypes in their hosts. So far, no endemic South American species of terrestrial isopods have been investigated for Wolbachia infection. In this work, populations from two species of Balloniscus (B. sellowii and B. glaber) were studied through a diagnostic PCR assay. Fi

4. Aspectos da relação simbiótica entre as bactérias Wolbachia (Alphaproteobacteria, Rickettsiales) e os isópodos terrestres (Crustacea, Oniscidea)
Wolbachia é uma alfaproteobactéria que apresenta simbiose com uma variedade de artrópodos e nematoides, estando entre os mais abundantes gêneros de bactérias intracelulares já descobertos. Na região Neotropical, os estudos sobre tais bactérias e seus hospedeiros, em especial isópodos terrestres, ainda são incipientes. O presente trabalho teve como
