Abstract
In all species of Oniscoidea investigated the epithelial cells of the "gills" (= eodopodites of pleopods) show the ultrastructural organization of transporting epithelia. Therefore it is assumed that also in the terrestrial isopods the pleopods are involved in respiration as well as osmoregulation.Mesh:
