Abstract Isopods are a diverse group of crustaceans, that inhabit various environments, including terrestrial, freshwater, and marine, both on the surface in underground. The biological mechanisms underlying their wide range adaptations to ecological niches remain elusive. In order unravel molecular basis adaptability, we generated comprehensive RNAseq dataset comprising 11 isopod species belonging three different suborders: freshwater Asellota, brackish Sphaeromatidea, terrestrial Oniscidea, with representatives from families Asellidae, Sphaeromatidae, Trichoniscidae, respectively. Representatives each family were collected cave representing at least independent colonization events. Three replicates sequenced ensure data robustness. high-quality datasets will serve as valuable resource for understanding cave-specific adaptations, comparative functional genomics, annotation well aid conservation efforts these non-model organisms. Importantly, transcriptomes eight featured have been made publicly accessible first time.
