Edotia [Edotia]

Description

Edotia is a genus of rockpool isopods known for their dorsoventrally flattened bodies and unique dorsal surface textures, which often mimic the appearance of their surrounding environment. They are primarily found in cold-water regions, clinging to seaweeds and rocks. Edotia species play a significant role in the intertidal food web, serving as both predators of smaller invertebrates and prey for larger marine animals.
