Focus on microcrustaceans

The exploration of Santo surface freshwater habitats undertaken in 2006 revealed a second example of the  colonisation of island freshwater habitats by a predominantly marine group: this time an isopod belonging to the  basically marine family Sphaeromatidae. Isopods are a diverse group of  crustaceans containing terrestrial forms, such as woodlice, as well as freshwater and marine forms.  Some species are even parasitic on shrimp hosts and

exhibit highly modified body shapes.
