I enjoyed presenting my poster at the Ferrara #SMBE23 poster session. Lots of great conversations with interesting people and possible collaborations with people interested in #terrestrialization #evolution of #isopods.

Associating amphipods with water is generally true, but not always. Talitrid amphipods are one of the few groups to make the transition to land after the initial rush in the Silurian-Devonian. Not all of them, mind you. The so-called 'landhoppers' are an Indo-Pacific phenomenon. I think they warrant more study to understand terrestrialization.
