picture info	Woodlouse A woodlouse (plural woodlice) is an isopod crustacean from the polyphyleticThe current consensus is that Oniscidea is actually triphyletic suborder Oniscidea within the order Isopoda. They get their name from often being found in old wood. The first woodlice were marine isopods which are presumed to have colonised land in the Carboniferous, though the oldest known fossils are from the Cretaceous period. They have many common names and although often referred to as terrestrial isopods, some species live semiterrestrially or have recolonised aquatic environments. Woodlice in the families Armadillidae, Armadillidiidae, Eubelidae, Tylidae and some other genera can roll up into a roughly spherical shape ( conglobate) as a defensive mechanism; others have partial rolling ability, but most cannot conglobate at all. Woodlice have a basic morphology of a segmented, dorso-ventrally flattened body with seven pairs of jointed legs, specialised appendages for respiration and like ...

	Platyarthridae Platyarthridae is a family of woodlice, containing the following genera: '' Cephaloniscus'' Ferrara & Taiti, 1989 '' Echinochaetus'' Ferrara & Schmalfuss, 1983 '' Gerufa'' Budde-Lund, 1909 '' Lanceochaetus'' Schmalfuss & Ferrara, 1978 '' Manibia'' Barnard, 1932 ''Niambia'' Budde-Lund, 1904 '' Papuasoniscus'' Vandel, 1973 '' Platyarthrus'' Brandt, 1833 '' Trichorhina'' Budde-Lund, 1908 They are mostly less than long, and cannot roll into a ball ( conglobate). They have no lungs on the pleopods, and have very small compound eyes, with fewer than 10 ommatidia The compound eyes of arthropods like insects, crustaceans and millipedes are composed of units called ommatidia (singular: ommatidium). An ommatidium contains a cluster of photoreceptor cells surrounded by support cells and pigment cells. The ou .... They are similar to members of the family Trachelipodidae, which do have pleopodal lungs, although the lungs can be inconspicuous. See also '' Trichorhina mulaiki ...

picture info	Isopoda Isopoda is an order of crustaceans that includes woodlice and their relatives. Isopods live in the sea, in fresh water, or on land. All have rigid, segmented exoskeletons, two pairs of antennae, seven pairs of jointed limbs on the thorax, and five pairs of branching appendages on the abdomen that are used in respiration. Females brood their young in a pouch under their thorax. Isopods have various feeding methods: some eat dead or decaying plant and animal matter, others are grazers, or filter feeders, a few are predators, and some are internal or external parasites, mostly of fish. Aquatic species mostly live on the seabed or bottom of freshwater bodies of water, but some taxa can swim for a short distance. Terrestrial forms move around by crawling and tend to be found in cool, moist places. Some species are able to roll themselves into a ball as a defense mechanism or to conserve moisture. There are over 10,000 identified species of isopod worldwide, with around 4,50 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
