Asellus aquaticus can breed throughout the year, if the temperature is high enough: they do not breed under cold temperatures. Maturity can be reached in few months under warm summer temperatures, but maturation may take as much as two years in permanently cold water bodies (e.g., high-latitude or mountain waters). [3]
The Asellidae are a family of isopod crustaceans, [1] one of the largest families of freshwater isopods, living in both epigean and hypogean habitats in North America and Europe. [ 3 ] Genera
Brasileirinho cavaticus is a species of freshwater isopod. It is the only member of the monotypic genus Brasileirinho , which in turn is the only member of the family Brasileirinidae . [ 1 ]
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 the bottom of freshwater bodies of water, but some taxa can swim for short distance ...
Giant isopods are a good example of deep-sea gigantism (cf. giant squid), as they are far larger than the "typical" isopods that are up to 5 cm (2.0 in). Bathynomus can be divided into "giant" species where the adults generally are between 8 and 15 cm (3.1 and 5.9 in) long and "supergiant" species where the adults are typically between 17 and ...
Antrolana lira, also known as The Madison Cave isopod, is a freshwater, cave-dwelling crustacean species. It is in the family Cirolanidae and it is the only species of its genus Antrolana . This isopod can be found in flooded limestone caves and karst aquifers throughout the Great Appalachian Valley of Virginia and West Virginia . [ 3 ]
It is a member of the giant isopods (Bathynomus), and as such it is related—albeit distantly—to shrimps and crabs. [2] It was the first Bathynomus species ever documented and was described in 1879 by French zoologist Alphonse Milne Edwards after the isopod was found in fishermen's nets off the coast of the Dry Tortugas in the Gulf of Mexico .
Isopods, small crustaceans that usually live on the bottom of freshwater and marine environments, serve as the primary food source for the bayou killifish for several reasons. Dating back to Carboniferous period 300 million years ago, many aquatic isopods have evolved to live in unstable environments. Isopods can withstand high radiation ...
