Abstract

Our scientific community has lost one of its prominent members: Prof. Michael R. Warburg (MRW) who passed away on the 9th of February, 2014 in Haifa. The organisers of the 9th Symposium on the Biology of Terrestrial Isopods, held in Poitiers, France, decided to dedicate the meeting and this special issue to his memory. Prof. Warburg was a highly regarded member of our community, a ‘spiritual sponsor’ of isopod research, a passionate isopodologist himself, and a mentor to many students and young researchers.
