isopod

基本解釋

Old World genus of isopod crustaceans.
陸生等足甲殼類舊大陸鼠婦科的一屬。
The isopod pictured above, for example, is but one of some 600 new species of these woodlouse-like creepy crawlies.
例如，上圖所描繪的等足類動物僅是有潮蟲特征、新發(fā)現(xiàn)的600多種爬蟲動物中的一種。
The isopod pictured above was one of these needles, found by a team surveying waters around Antarctica.
圖中在南極洲附近海域發(fā)現(xiàn)的小家伙就是這樣的“一根針”。
The researchers documented many new isopod species from the thousands of specimens collected.Some species were represented by just a single animal.
研究者在采集到的數(shù)以千計的標本中記錄了許多等足類的新種，其中一些是只憑一件標本就定種的。
More to the point, though, is that as Polarstern pursued its mission during the summers of 2002 and 2005, the rate at which new isopod species were discovered did not decline.
更能說明問題的是，盡管極地號是在2002年夏天到2005年夏天這段時間執(zhí)行的任務(wù)，但發(fā)現(xiàn)新等足類動物的速率在這之后并沒有下降。
