- Abstract
In the Sebiş town from Arad County, western Romania, we recorded 17 terrestrial isopod species. The study was made in the autumn of 2017, with the direct collecting method. The most common isopod in SebiŞ is a species linked to open areas (Trachelipus nodulosus). The most favorable habitat type for terrestrial isopods in Sebiş town was the periurban area, presenting the highest species richness. This habitat type is less affected by human activities compared to the other habitat types, thus it shelters species both with restrictive and larger ecological demands. Unlike another town from the region, Sebiş town is bordered north by forests. Native, forest and wetland species are present especially in the periurban area, some of them being present exclusively here. However, some of these species are present occasionally in the industrial area, which is mostly abandoned and situated at the town's outskirts. The terrestrial isopod fauna from Sebiş underlines the importance of natural and forested areas close to the town, at least in the case of this group.
