英文摘要

Terrestrial isopods have adapted to land life by diverse morphological, physiological and behavioral changes. Isopod species exhibit a large variety of preferences ranging from moist to dry habitats. Isopod cuticle is an interesting model for studying adaptations to terrestrial life. The cuticle consists of a hierarchically organized material which provides protection and sites for muscle attachment. The present paper aimed to investigate the structure of the cuticle in three isopod species in order to relate some peculiar features to an adaptive process to environmental constraints. Results showed that general thickness of Ligia italica cuticle was quite similar to that observed in Porcellio lamellatus. Nevertheless, this cuticle was half as thick as in Porcellio laevis. Although the positive relationship found between total body lengths and the total thickness of the cuticle, the exocuticle did not show any differences between the three species. However, it is the development of a thicker endocuticle in P. laevis which make its total cuticle thickness more important.
