Abstract
A survey between 2004 and 2010 yielded 2434 individuals of seven terrestrial isopod species – Cylisticus convexus, Oniscus asellus, Trachelipus rathkii, Porcellio scaber, Porcellio spinicornis, Porcellium conspersum, along Ligidium hypnorum – along the Curonian Spit and in various woodlands in Lithuania. The data on the Lithuanian fauna of all terrestrial isopods are presented for the first time. Isopod richness was the highest in woody habitats (dune pine forests and old mixed forests) where common European and Holarctic species (O. asellus, P. scaber, and T. rathkii) formed the majority of isopod assemblages. Additionally, more specialized isopods (L. hypnorum, P. conspersum) were also found in mixed and deciduous forests. Porcellio scaber and T. rathkii, the species tolerating human and natural disturbances, were the only isopods found in sand dunes at the coast. The article includes a detailed list of Isopoda occurrences and the numbers of individuals captured. 2004–2010 metais Kursių nerijoje ir įvai...
