Abstract: ABSTRACT. Balloniscus glaber Araujo & Zardo, 1995 (Balloniscidae), a Neotropical Oniscidea, has been recorded historically in environments with low or no human interference. In one of these areas, it was determined as a K-strategist. Recently, however, this species was documented in a disturbed forest within urban limits. The present work revealed that the population in the urban area has high density, high number of ovigerous females and mancae in the population, a long reproductive period, and early sexual m… Show more

“…Three terrestrial isopods species from three distinct ecomorphological groups (sensu Schmalfuss, 1984) were used for both experiments: Balloniscus glaber Araujo and Zardo, 1995 (Balloniscidae), an endemic clinger species from the state of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina, Brazil, associated with Atlantic Forest fragments (Quadros et al, 2009;Kenne and Araujo, 2015;Wood et al, 2017;Campos-Filho et al, 2018); Benthana picta (Brandt, 1833) (Philosciidae), a runner species from the state of Espírito Santo to Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil and also recorded in Paraguay (Campos-Filho et al, 2015); and Armadillidium vulgare (Latreille, 1804) (Armadillidiidae), our roller model, a Mediterranean species with a global distribution and commonly associated with anthropogenic areas (Paoletti and Hassal, 1999). To avoid ambiguity regarding species names they will be referred to by their genus denomination.…”

“…Examples are Porcelliumcollicola (Verhoeff, 1907) in Europe, and Balloniscusglaber Araujo & Zardo, 1995 in Brazil. The latter species has been found at high abundances in the city of Porto Alegre, RS, despite being categorized as a habitat specialist and K-strategist (Kenne and Araujo 2015). These species can be examples of ’urban adapters’ a term coined by Blair (1996) and McKinney (2006), although it is unclear if adaptation in the evolutionary sense has occurred.…”
