Oniscoidea (Terrestrial Isopoda)

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Monographiae Biologicae ((MOBI,volume 25))

Abstract

This chapter summarises what is currently known concerning the ecology and distribution of the terrestrial isopods (Oniscoidea) of Tasmania. Although undoubtedly much remains to be discovered, it is appropriate that such a distinct group of arthropods should receive attention in a book of this sort.
