Ecology of Glyptonotus antarcticus

Main Ref.	Schotte, M., B.F. Kensley and S. Shilling, 1995
Remarks	High motile and eurybathic. Common in intertidal and subtidal areas. Associated with epizoic bryozoans; larger isopods had significantly more and diverse bryozoan colonies. Epibiosis, in this relationship, appears to be advantageous (Ref. 117942).
