Slide 3 of 33
isopods come in a great variety of body shapes and sizes
this slide depicts some the extreme body morphologies
most are free-living, -- some are predators, others are herbivores, many are omnivores
some are temporary fish parasites, others are obligate crustacean endoparasites, still others are coral rubble and algal inhabitants
isopods occupy marine habitats, from shallow waters to the deepsea, some are entirely terrestrial, and some are restricted to freshwater
