Özet
The monthly activation dynamics, habitual shelter usage and local dispersion preference of the isopod species Porcellio laevis, Porcellio dilatatus and Armadillo officinalis (Isopoda: Oniscidea) in the same locality in Turkey were studied. The aim of the study was to examine how these species, which originated from North Africa, cooler parts of Europe and the Mediterranean basin, respectively, having different climate preferences, responded to the same climatic and environmental conditions. The study revealed that these species could subsist in sympatric populations under certain environmental circumstances. However, their geographical origin and possible evolutionary background were clearly reflected in the form of monthly activation, local dispersion and use of habitual shelters. © 2024 Institute of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Research - Bulgarian Academy of Sciences.
