What biomes do arthropods live in?

Answer 1

Arthropod is the largest in the animal kingdom. They include lobsters, crabs, Spiders, mites, insects, centipedes, and millipedges. Arthropods can be found in every habitat on Earth. They show a great variety of adaptations which included living in aquatic environments, and some groups even have adapted for flight.

Answer 2

Arthropods actually live in all biomes! Marine arthropods like shrimp and crabs live in the oceans and insects are found in nearly every habitat on almost every continent. Little animals called copepods live in streams, ponds, and other freshwater habitats while arthropods such as millipedes and mites live in soil.

Answer 3

There is no one food consumed by all arthropods. The arthropod diet is extremely varied and difficult to generalize owing to the vast diversity of the phylum; Arthropoda includes crustaceans, arachnids, myriapods, insects, and others. Their wide distribution amongst various habitats is reflected in feeding strategies. Some are specialists upon one particular food source, some are generalists, exploiting varied sources. Some are herbivorous; many insects would scrape, chew, or suck on plants, eat the pollen, nectar, fruit, or woody components. Spiders are predators, capturing and consuming insects. Some arthropods are parasitic and live off other organism's blood or cellular products or debris; some mites live only on mold. Crustaceans are often opportunistic eaters, will scavenge, or live off algae; some like lobsters prefer to predate on fish, molluscs, and other crustaceans. Krill eat mostly phytoplankton. Others, like woodlice, are detritivores, eating mostly dead plant matter. Some eat feces, like dung beetles. Some of the more unusual strategies involve symbiotic relationships in 'farming', such as certain species of ants like leafcutters which create then live off fungal farms built from harvested vegetation, a strategy also practiced by certain weevils and termites; some ants will capture and manage aphid populations and live off their secretions. In short, if something is remotely edible, there's bound to be an arthropod which consumes it.

Answer 4

Insects are arthropods.
