Hansenomicrocerberus [Hansenomicrocerberus]

Description

Hansenomicrocerberus is a genus recognized for its extremely small and highly specialized isopods, adapted to life in marine interstitial environments. Their reduced size and simplified body structure allow them to move through sand grains with ease. These organisms are important indicators of the ecological health of sandy beach ecosystems, contributing to the microbial loop by feeding on bacteria and other microorganisms.
