“…Results showed no significant differences between male and female woodlice: subjects of both sexes remained longer in the moist area than in the dry area and there was no statistical difference in the frequency of crossings. This indicated that both sexes of animals of this species equally preferred moist environments rather than dry ones, as previously suggested ( 18 , 36 - 38 ), which contrasts with previous studies that found some differences between sexes in exploratory behavior of rats ( 10 , 20 - 26 , 32 , 34 , 39 , 40 ).…”

There are several studies in the literature showing that male and female rats explore novel environments and exhibit different exploration patterns when submitted to different apparatuses. In general, female rats spend more time moving and exploring the apparatuses than males do. A previous study showed that male woodlice ( Armadillidium vulgare ) explore novel environments in a very similar way to male rats ( Rattus norvegicus ) when tested in apparatuses analogous to the open-field test and light/dark box. Since that study was conducted only with male rats and woodlice, and since they exhibited very similar patterns of behavior, the present experiment aimed at investigating whether male and female woodlice explore novel environments with different behavioral patterns. Female and male woodlice were tested in the open-field and in the dry/moist box. Results obtained in the open-field test showed that both males and females remained longer in the corners than along the walls and avoided staying in the center. However, females remained longer along the walls and less in the corners. In the dry/moist box, there were no significant differences between the sexes: both females and males remained significantly longer in the moist compartment.
