“…Although the dispersal ability of Dynamene specimens is thought to be fairly constrained, juveniles can be transported somewhat far from their birthplace by factors such as rough weather (Holdich, 1968b(Holdich, , 1970(Holdich, , 1976. Moreover, it is well documented that isopods can also be dispersed passively away from the coast (Ingólfsson & Agnarsson, 2003;Thiel, 2002) through rafting on floating objects (usually detached macroalgae; Scheltema, 1986;Thiel & Gutow, 2005), via anthropogenic transfer (Kiessling, Gutow, & Thiel, 2015;Rumbold et al, 2018) or, more rarely, if specimens remain attached to other species (Sponer & Lessios 2009), including marine birds (Frisch, Green, & Figuerola, 2007). The occurrence of Dynamene species in a wide range of locations also confirms their dispersal capacity (Vieira et al, 2016).…”
