Abstract
The three known marine and freshwater talitroids occupying the driftwood niche are listed, and an ecological niche classification for Talitroidea is proposed. Characteristic adaptations of the supralittoral driftwood species to their environment are presented and compared with adaptations shown by other littoral and terrestrial talitrids. It is suggested that the driftwood niche is preadaptive for talitrid terrestrial life.
