Microplastics and synthetic particles ingested by deep-sea amphipods in six of the deepest marine ecosystems on Earth

Royal Society Open Science, 2019
While there is now an established recognition of microplastic pollution in the oceans, and the detrimental effects this may have on marine animals, the ocean depth at which such contamination is ingested by organisms has still not been established. Here,

The late blooming amphipods: global change promoted post-Jurassic ecological radiation despite Palaeozoic origin

bioRxiv, 2019
The ecological radiation of amphipods is striking among crustaceans. Despite high diversity, global distribution and key roles in all aquatic environments, little is known about their ecological transitions, evolutionary timescale and phylogenetic ...

Amphipod family distributions around Iceland [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2018
Amphipod crustaceans were collected at all 55 stations sampled with an epibenthic sledge during two IceAGE expeditions (Icelandic marine Animals: Genetics and Ecology) in 2011 and 2013. In total, 34 amphipod families and three superfamilies were recorded in the samples. Distribution maps are presented for each taxon along with a summary of the regional

ON NIGHTTIME VERTICAL MIGRATIONS OF AMPHIPODS IN LAKE LADOGA

Transactions of the Karelian Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2020
Daily vertical migrations (DVM) of amphipods is a widespread phenomenon both in rivers and lakes, and in seas. The leader among freshwater bodies in terms of the number of amphipod species and the intensity of DVM is the ancient Lake Baikal.

The importance of naming cryptic species and the conservation of endemic subterranean amphipods

Scientific Reports, 2017
Molecular taxonomy often uncovers cryptic species, reminding us that taxonomic incompleteness is even more severe than previous thought. The importance of cryptic species for conservation is poorly understood.

Amphipods in estuarine and marine quality assessment – a review

Oceanologia, 2019
Summary Amphipods are a diverse and important group of invertebrates contributing to the functioning of aquatic ecosystems. In spite of their variety, many species of amphipods share important biological and ecological characteristics that make them ...

Assessment of Actinobacteria Role in Activity of Deep-water Endemic Amphipod Species Belonging to the Genus Ommatogammarus [PDF]

Journal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistry, 2016
The aim of present study was to reveal the associations between the actinobacteria strains and Lake Baikal deep-water endemic amphipods. During the study forty-two actinobacteria strains were isolated from the amphipods belonging to the genus ...
