Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
The isopod family Bopyridae comprises 469 described species, all of them ectoparasites of decapod crustaceans; it accounts for at least 80% of all species of its suborder, the Epicaridea. The family is divided into ten subfamilies, each of which is largely restricted to hosts belonging to a single decapodan infraorder or lower taxon. The most primitive subfamily is Pseudioninae, members of which probably first infested anomurans of the family Galatheidae. All other subfamilies are derivable from the Pseudioninae, some through a series of genera infesting thalassinideans and designated the Thalassinidean Transition. Evidently the two major subfamilies of abdominal parasites arose separately. The center of distribution and probably of origin of the Bopyridae is the tropical Indo-West Pacific, with progressively fewer species being found westward to the eastern Pacific. Most subfamilies follow this overall pattern, but some deviate markedly from it. |
