Overview of Predation by Birds, Cephalopods, Fish and Marine Mammals on Marine Benthic Amphipods

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
With about 8000 marine benthic species, the amphipod crustaceans form one of the richest animal groups of the worldwide Ocean. They have colonized a wide range of soft- and hard-bottom natural and artificial habitats extending from the intertidal to ...

Swarming of Hyperiid Amphipods [PDF]

Nature, 1967
FOLLOWING a period of moderately strong westerly wind, on June 26, 1966, the beaches of Robin Hood's Bay, Filey, and Sandsend, Yorkshire (extending for about 40 km of coastline), were turned white by a covering of vast numbers of hyperiid amphipods.

The Assessment of Methyl Methanesulfonate Absorption by Amphipods from the Environment Using Lux-Biosensors

Biosensors
The ability of aquatic mesofauna representatives involved in trophic chains to sorb and accumulate toxicants is important for understanding the functioning of aquatic ecosystems and for fishing industry.

Genome Reduction in Psychromonas Species within the Gut of an Amphipod from the Ocean’s Deepest Point

mSystems, 2018
Amphipods are the dominant scavenging metazoan species in the Mariana Trench, the deepest known point in Earth’s oceans. Here the gut microbiota of the amphipod Hirondellea gigas collected from the Challenger and Sirena Deeps of the Mariana Trench were ...

Catchment conversion to agriculture alters freshwater macroinvertebrate community responses to flow disturbance: results from a replicated in‐stream experiment

Oikos, EarlyView.
Anthropogenic stressors often co‐occur in ecosystems, but their combined impacts are rarely assessed using field experiments. Press disturbances particularly can reshape community dynamics, altering their capacity to withstand or recover from acute pulse disturbances by modifying response diversity.

Posidonia oceanica Leaves as a Natural Filler for Poly(Butylene Succinate‐Co‐Adipate) Composites: Characterization and Biodegradation Assessment in Seawater

Journal of Vinyl and Additive Technology, EarlyView.
This study shows that incorporating 5–10 wt.% Posidonia oceanica, with or without micro‐talc, in PBSA preserves thermal stability, modifying crystallization behavior, and maintains good filler dispersion and interfacial adhesion. Mechanical properties are moderately stiffened.

Invasive goldfish trigger a regime shift in experimental lake ecosystems of varying trophic state

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
The pet trade distributes exotic animals around the globe that enrich human lives. However, some pets become pests when released into the wild. This study provides experimental evidence that goldfish will negatively affect native freshwater organisms and ecosystems.

Geographic Patterns of Head Morphology in Syngnathus typhle Across Marine Regions

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Morphometric analysis of Syngnathus typhle head shape shows distinct geographic patterns across Baltic, North, Atlantic, and Mediterranean marine regions, driven by variation in snout length, head depth, and eye position. Findings provide a non‐invasive baseline for conservation monitoring.

Baikal amphipod (Gmelinoides fasciatus) and is contribution to the feeding of Ladoga Lake perch [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
The feeding of perch (Perca fluviatilis) from the littoral zone of Ladoga Lake was studied. Attention was focused on the colonizer species, a Baikal amphipod (Gmelinoides fasciatus), and its contribution to feeding.
