#Oniscidea
Aprovechamos el post para ilustrar que eso que veis, es un Crustáceo

/Armadillidium granulatum/

(suborden Oniscidea, dentro de Isopoda).
OK bluskees, what is this insect called?

I call them by whatever they identify as.

There is one that lives in my garden that goes by the manner of “Emperor Leo Oniscidea VII, Ruler of the Universe.”

Self aggrandising bastard.

Yes it does! The group Oniscidea are the ones you're thinking of. The rest, well, there's pictures in the paper of how varied they are!

New paper! Benedikt, a student assistant who worked with me, told me he was passionate about isopods... So we wrote a paper!

And as I said the other day, strikingly different patterns of evolution in different types of crustaceans (there were no crabs at all yet when Oniscidea diverged)
Among crustaceans, many different scenarios for how they came to terrestrial habitats. For crabs, it happened many times and is probably still evolving.

For isopods, only once (but they became even more terrestrial than any crab). And insects once, of course!

Excited to share that my isopod evolution paper is now out:

Ich habe mir eine Jahreskarte für den Zoo gekauft, inklusive Aquarium. Heute das erste Mal in der Öffentlichkeit gezeichnet. Sehr ungewohnt und auch anstrengend. Aber es hat Spaß gemacht.

Hier sind einige interessante Fakten über dieses Tier:

Spezies:
🪵 Die häufigste Kellerassel, die man in unseren Breiten findet, ist die Gemeine Kellerassel (Porcellio scaber).
Sie gehört zur Ordnung der Landasseln (Oniscidea) und damit zu den Krebstieren. ❗

Les premiers, les cloportes, font partie du sous-embranchement des crustacés et forment le sous-ordre des Oniscidea. Les seconds, les gloméris, font partie d’un tout autre sous-embranchement des arthropodes ; les myriapodes (ceux qu’on appelle plus communément les mille-pattes).
