Selective Fatty Acid Retention and Turnover in the Freshwater Amphipod Pallaseopsis quadrispinosa

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2021
Gammarid amphipods are a crucial link connecting primary producers with secondary consumers, but little is known about their nutritional ecology. Here we asked how starvation and subsequent feeding on different nutritional quality algae influences fatty ...

Metal Accumulations in Two Extreme-Environment Amphipods, Hadal Eurythenes gryllus and Antarctic Pseudorchomene plebs

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
The hadal zone and Antarctic Ocean are two of the least-explored habitats. Knowledge about human impacts on these two extreme environments is limited. Here, we analyzed the metal accumulations of two amphipod species, Eurythenes gryllus, from the Mariana

Soft-bottom exploration of assemblage patterns of the Red Sea amphipods at multiple spatial and vertical scales

open access: yesEgyptian Journal of Aquatic Research, 2021
We described here the assemblage patterns accompanying the soft-bottom amphipods on both spatial and vertical scales. During winter 2020, 6820 individuals were collected from Hurghada and Shalateen, the Red Sea coast from five different depths ranging ...

An Amphipod Invasion [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1913
MANY specimens of a small amphipod crustacean, Euthemisto compressa, Goes, have been forwarded to me by Mr. T. H. Nelson, of Redcar. On May 23 and 24 these were washed ashore in incredible numbers on the coast of Yorkshire, where they lay from Saltburn to Teesmouth—a distance of ten miles in drifts several inches deep.
