Thanks!
Are you aware of any papers that study the impacts of invasive woodlice being so widespread and common? I see discussion of non-native earthworms, but I've not encountered anyone discussing these. Thanks for the IDs. I'd be happy to give det. credits at our Maryland Biodiversity Project if you're keen and willing to provide your name. Thanks!

Sorry, I'm not aware of any such papers,
Eric C. Maxwell might know some though. :)
