Population structure and abundance.
At site 50—five females (~
2x10
3/m2), at the other sites—1 to 3 females (up to
1x10
3/m2).
Ecology and distribution.
The ecology and distribution of
P. intermedius
are similar to the previous species except for the fact that in addition to
Antarctica
it has not been recorded in
Australia
(Zullini 2006;
Andrássy 2007
). This species was recovered from river bottom sediments and in soil biotopes of
northern Vietnam
