Description
Parapseudes comprises small-sized tanaid crustaceans, notable for their resilience in a wide range of marine habitats, from shallow waters to the deep sea. They possess a simplified body form with reduced appendages, an adaptation to their detritivorous lifestyle. These tanaids play a significant role in the decomposition process, facilitating nutrient cycling within their ecosystems.
