Summary

Numerous non-insect limno/terrestrial arthropods appear in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Nearly all arachnids and myriapods are terrestrial, but within Pancrustacea, many taxa can inhabit marine, limnic and terrestrial environments and it is not possible to easily disentangle the numbers of listed species without sorting them species by species. In some cases, as in Malacostraca, the number provided includes species inhabiting either environment, or even cases of amphidromous species that spend part of their life cycle at sea and part in rivers and streams, as is the case of many shrimp species.
