The morphology, arrangement, and ultrastructure of a new type of microtrich sensilla in marine isopods (Crustacea, Isopoda)

Abstract: Background: Microtrich sensilla are a special type of cuticular structures found on the external surface of amphipod and isopod crustaceans. These cuticular microstructures, being important for systematic and phylogenetic studies, display a wide diversity of shapes and distribution among different taxa. Here, the microstructure of the cuticular surface of 11 marine isopod species was investigated by scanning electron microscopy. Results: On the dorsal and lateral sides of all the taxa examined, only one distin… Show more

“…Sensilla [45,46] refer to minute cuticular sensory receptor organs covering a vast area of the crustacean body [47]. Due to their variability in size, shape, number, and position, many studies have investigated their taxonomic importance in various crustacean taxa [48][49][50][51][52][53][54]. The pleon's anatomical points along each pleonite and pleotelson boundary are used to estimate segment length ratio changes, which is considered important in the taxonomy of isopods [33,34].…”
