| Abstract: | Insects are present in virtually all possible habitats on the mainland but virtually absent in the ocean which constitutes 90% of the biosphere. Only a few species are present in the sea, but remaining at the surface, salt marshes, estuaries, or shallow waters. Remarkably, a group of species manages to endure long immersion periods in the open sea, as well as deep dives, i.e. seal lice. We discuss here some of the adaptations that allow seal lice to cope with the amphibious habits of their Paper presented virtually at at the 1st International Electronic Conference on Entomology (IECE 2021), 1–15 July 2021; Available online https://sciforum.net/paper/view/10543 |
