- _O. dioica_ was found all year in the Fukuyama harbour, Japan in 1986—7
[[Uye and Ichino, 1995|biblio/10.1016_0022-0981_95_00004-B]]). Mature stages were also
found all year, and trunk length was shorter in summer.

- As of August 2018, _O. dioica_ is not yet found in the [BOLD](http://www.boldsystems.org/)
database of DNA barcodes.
- Carbon output of _O. dioica_ is either their house or fecal pellets, the
