角质层结构的A. marina和A. maritima的差异进行了讨论，与A。maritima A. maritima可以捕获一层水饱和的空气，从而减缓水分流失，使其能够在干燥的上部沿岸的觅食，而A.没有一层水饱和的空气，marina被限制在较低的沿岸的更潮湿的栖息地。这两个物种都有一个可压缩的macroplastron支持的主要结节，以及一个薄得多的microplastron支持的次要结节，这是更耐润湿的压力和表面活性剂。胸甲被证明是对沿岸的带的预适应。
Cuticle structures of A. marina and A. maritima are discussed, the differences are correlated with a greater tolerance of desiccation in A. maritima. The cuticle ornametation of A. maritima can trap a layer of water-saturated air thus slowing down water loss and allowing it to forage in the drier upper littoral, while A. marina, without a layer of water saturated air, is confined to more humid habitats in the lower littoral. Both species have a compressible macroplastron supported by major tubercles, as well as a much thinner microplastron supported by by minor tubercles which is more resistant to wetting by pressure and surfactants. The plastrons are shown to be preadaptations to the littoral zone.
