The origin of terrestrial isopods (Crustacea: Isopoda: Oniscidea)
@article{Broly2012TheOO, title={The origin of terrestrial isopods (Crustacea: Isopoda: Oniscidea)}, author={P. Broly and P. Deville and S. Maillet}, journal={Evolutionary Ecology}, year={2012}, volume={27}, pages={461-476} }
Living isopods of the suborder Oniscidea (commonly called woodlice) are the only group of Crustacea almost entirely composed of terrestrial forms. Furthermore, woodlice are completely independent from the aquatic environment from which they originally arose. From marine ancestors, woodlice are a key taxon to study the conquest of the land among arthropods because of their interesting gradation of morphological, physiological and behavioral adaptations for terrestriality. However, the origin and… Expand
