Terrestrial isopods (Oniscidea) represent a widespread group of land Crustacea that have been able to successfully adapt to the terrestrial environment and occupy newly formed ecological niches. During the colonisation of land, they faced numerous challenges, including finding an effective way to avoid their new terrestrial predators. In response to predation pressure, they have developed various behavioural and morphological adaptations. These include tonic immobility, conglobation, clinging to the ground, releasing strongly acidic secretions, jumping, and efficient running away. Furthermore, terrestrial isopods can aggregate with other individuals, use stridulation, or change their typical activity time. Some of them also developed spiny tergites and aposematic colouration or posture. The majority of these strategies have not yet been studied.
陆生等足类动物（潮虫亚目）是广泛分布的一类陆地甲壳纲动物，它们成功适应了陆地环境，并占据了新形成的生态位。在陆地定殖过程中，它们面临着诸多挑战，包括找到一种有效的方法来躲避新出现的陆地捕食者。为应对捕食压力，它们发展出了各种行为和形态上的适应性变化。这些变化包括强直静止、团缩、紧贴地面、释放强酸性分泌物、跳跃以及高效逃跑。此外，陆生等足类动物可以与其他个体聚集在一起，利用摩擦发声，或改变其典型的活动时间。其中一些还进化出了多刺的背板以及警戒色或警戒姿态。这些策略中的大多数尚未得到研究。
