Sinuous Tanaid [Sinotanais]
Description
Sinotanais includes species known for their sinuous or curved body shapes, an adaptation that may aid in burrowing or navigating through complex substrates. Found primarily in sandy or muddy bottoms, these tanaids contribute to the benthic community by feeding on organic detritus, thus playing a role in the sedimentary decomposition process.
