The isopod, Armadillidium vulgare (Latreille) (Isopoda: Armadillidiidae), and the millipede, Ommatoiulus moreletii (Lucas) (Diplopoda: Iulidae), are increasingly being reported as pests of emerging broadacre crop seedlings in southern Australia. This is thought to be due to the increased adoption of stubble retention practices, leading to increased abundance of these soil-dwelling organisms. Here, we evaluate the propensity of A. vulgare and O. moreletii to damage a range of crop seedlings. Through the combined analysis of a controlled feeding trial and field reports, we show A. vulgare is able to feed on and damage a range of pulses, legumes, cereals, and oilseeds, as emerging seedlings. O. moreletii had a more restricted range of feeding, being limited to lupin, lucerne, and canola in the feeding trial. These results are discussed in the context of developing pest management guidelines for these species.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Armadillidium vulgare Latreille (AV), the dried body of pillbug, was originally described in Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica. As a common analgesic in animal-based traditional Chinese medicine, it is mainly used to relieve pain, promoting diuresis, relieving fatigue and so on. Our work demonstrated that AV could alleviate various types of acute and chronic pain including neuropathic pain (NP).

The metabolites from the endophytic fungus Talaromyces malicola hosted in the gastrointestinal tract of the arthropods Armadillidium vulgare were investigated, and six undescribed fusicoccane diterpenoids, talarmalnoids A-F (1-6), along with three known analogs were isolated. Talarmalnoid C (3) was an unprecedented fusicoccane diterpenoid with two sugar units, i.e.

The secondary metabolites of the endophytic fungus Talaromyces malicola hosted in the arthropod Armadillidium vulgare were separated by silica gel column chromatography, gel column chromatography, and semi-preparative high-performance liquid chromatography. Eleven compounds(1-11) were obtained from the ethyl acetate fraction of the fermentation broth of T. malicola, and their structures were identified by NMR, HR-ESI-MS, UV, IR, and ECD.

Most of eukaryotic organisms live in close interaction with micro-organisms called symbionts. Symbiotic interactions underpin the evolution of biological complexity, the health of organisms and, ultimately, the proper functioning of ecosystems. While some symbionts confer adaptive benefits on their host (mutualistic symbionts) and others clearly induce costs (parasitic symbionts), a number of micro-organisms are difficult to classify because they have been described as conferring both benefits and costs on their host.

Introduction: Endosymbiotic bacteria in the genus have evolved numerous strategies for manipulating host reproduction in order to promote their own transmission. This includes the feminization of males into functional females, a well-studied phenotype in the isopod . Despite an early description of this phenotype in isopods and the development of an evolutionary model of host sex determination in the presence of , the underlying genetic mechanisms remain elusive.
