Abstract

SUMMARY The authors describe the zonation and activity of 12 species of Oniscoidea inhabiting the beach-dune-bush system and two found on the rocky coast at Sar Uanle (southern Somalia). The correlation between zonation and macro- and microclimate, the ecological affinities between these and other forms present on extra- and intertropical coasts, the tidal and diurnal rhythms involved in the migrations of Littorophiloscia compar (Budde-Lund) and the particular tree-dwelling bionomy of Periscyphis rubroantennatus Ferrara are also discussed.
