This traits uses the 'substratum type' trait value list. +
Definition requires input - decide on standard approach - record if age is minimum, maximum or average.In addition the gender (m/f) should be documented. +
Definition requires input - individual life stages and descriptions to be confirmed by taxonomic specialists +
M
Definiton specific to decapod Crustacea +
