A new species of Ampithoe (Amphipoda, Ampithoidae) from Korea, with a redescription of A. tarasovi [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2021 An ampithoid species, previously known as A. tarasovi in Korea, is assigned as a new species, A. changbaensis sp. nov. based on the reexamination of the holotype of A. tarasovi. The new species shows different morphological characteristics compared to A.

Disentangling the links between habitat complexity and biodiversity in a kelp-dominated subantarctic community. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2021 We demonstrate that different dimensions of habitat complexity can have contrasting effects on diversity and community structure. Our study highlights the fundamental role of the multiple dimensions of kelp habitat complexity for local biodiversity as a balance between positive and negative effects on associated species.

Amphipoda (Crustacea) from Palau, Micronesia: Families Ampeliscidae, Ampithoidae, Aoridae, Colomastigidae and Cyproideidae [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2012 12 species of amphipod in 5 families, collected from shallow reefs in Palau by S. DeGrave during 2002, are reported here. Of these, five species are new to science and Microdeutopus tridens Schellenberg (1938) is redescribed and transferred to the genus ...

Unravelling Hidden Trophic Interactions Among Sea Urchin Juveniles and Macroinvertebrates by DNA Amplification. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Rocky reefs may shift between two distinct stable states: productive algal forests, characterised by high abundance and biodiversity of macrofauna, and impoverished barrens, dominated by overgrazing sea urchins. Barren states may persist despite the recovery of adult sea urchin predators, suggesting additional stabilising mechanisms.

Nutrition of marine mesograzers: integrating feeding behavior, nutrient intake and performance of an herbivorous amphipod [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Consumers can regulate the acquisition and use of nutrients through behavioral and physiological mechanisms. Here, we present an experimental approach that simultaneously integrates multiple nutritional traits, feeding assays, and juvenile performance to

Continent-island boundary and environment-shaped evolution in the marine amphipod Ampithoe marcuzzii complex (Crustacea: Eumalacostraca: Ampithoidae) [PDF]
Scientific ReportsMarine amphipods are crustaceans that lack a larval phase and consequently have low dispersion rates. Despite that, these crustaceans present a remarkable ability to be transported by rafting on natural floating substrata, especially macroalgae, where ...
