| 1. | That triples the number of antarctic isopods known
这个数字是南极地区已知的等足类动物数量的三倍。
|
| 2. | The isopod pictured above , for example , is but one of some 600 new species of these woodlouse - like creepy crawlies
例如，上图所描绘的等足类动物仅是600多种有潮虫特征、新发现的爬虫动物中的一种。
|
| 3. | That suggests biology has only scratched the surface of isopod diversity ? and in the grand scheme of things , isopods are a pretty obscure group
这表明现今的生物学仅触及了等足类动物多样性问题的表面，并且，从更高的层面来看，等足类动物仅是一个微不足道的群体。
|
| 4. | 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
更能说明问题的是，尽管极地号是在2002年夏天到2005年夏天这段时间执行的任务，但发现新等足类动物的速率在这之后并没有下降。
|
| 5. | Many of the novel isopods , for instance , could be grouped as closely related pairs of species , with one of the pair found in shallower waters and the other down in the depths
比如，许多新奇的等足类动物能够以物种对的形式进行归类，在一个紧密相连的物种对中，一个物种是在浅水区发现的，而另一个是在深水区发现的。

| 6. | Flabellifera is one of the most important suborders of isopoda , and the commonest isopods of predominant marine provenance . the materials examined were obtained mainly by national oceanic investigations such as " the comprehensive oceanographic survey ( 1958 - 1960 ) " , " china vietnam comprehensive survey to beibu gulf ( golf of tonkin ) ( 1959 - 1960 , 1962 ) " and " china germany marine biological expedition to hainan island " ( 1990 , 1992 )
中国科学院海洋研究所从50年代以来进行了若干次海洋生物考察，如“全国海洋综合调查( 1958 ? 1960年) ” 、 “中越北部湾海洋综合调查( 1959 - 1960 ， 1962年) ”及“中德海南岛生物联合调查( 1960 ， 1962年) ”等，获得了大量的等足类标本。
