These Boots Are Made for Walking: Sex-Specific Physiological and Metabolomic Strategies Reflect Male-Skewed Vulnerability to Ocean Warming in a Keystone Amphipod. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolSex‐specific responses to ocean warming shape thermal tolerance, fitness, and metabolomic profiles in a keystone amphipod. Females exhibit higher thermal limits and broader safety margins than males. Warming reduces survival and reproductive output, while it increases offspring size.

Amphipods in estuaries: the sibling species low salinity switch hypothesis [PDF]
Zoosystematics and Evolution, 2020 A novel low salinity switch hypothesis is proposed to account for the speciation of an obligate estuarine (oligohaline) amphipod, Orchestia aestuarensis, from a closely-related one, Orchestia mediterranea, found in both estuarine and marine conditions ...

First record of Apocorophium acutum (Chevreux, 1908) (Amphipoda, Corophiidae, Corophiinae) from Uruguay, with notes on the biology and distribution [PDF]
Check List, 2018 The amphipod Apocorophium acutum (Chevreux, 1908) has a worldwide distribution due to dispersion by ballast water and the hulls of ships. Here we provide a record of this species from Rocha department, Uruguay, which is the first record in the Atlantic ...

Eaten alive: cannibalism is enhanced by parasites [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2015 Cannibalism is ubiquitous in nature and especially pervasive in consumers with stage-specific resource utilization in resource-limited environments. Cannibalism is thus influential in the structure and functioning of biological communities. Parasites are

Trimethylamine N-Oxide (TMAO) and Trimethylamine (TMA) Determinations of Two Hadal Amphipods
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 Hadal trenches are a unique habitat with high hydrostatic pressure, low temperature and scarce food supplies. Amphipods are the dominant scavenging metazoan species in this ecosystem.

Comparably Characterizing the Gut Microbial Communities of Amphipods from Littoral to Hadal Zones
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 Amphipods are an important group of invertebrates in marine ecosystems due to their high abundance and diversity. As an essential part of the marine food web, amphipods play a vital role in nutrient recycling and provide large amounts of detritus-derived
