Ampeliscidae (Crustacea, Amphipoda) from the IceAGE expeditions

Ampeliscidae has been recorded extensively from Icelandic waters by many detailed reports. Material collected from the IceAGE (Icelandic marine animals: Genetics and Ecology) 1 and 2 expeditions has resulted in a reasonably expected collection of ampeliscid amphipod species and distributions. However, as seems to be the trend in amphipod systematics, there are ever-present species complexes. Re...

Amphipoda (Crustacea) from Palau, Micronesia: Families Ampeliscidae, Ampithoidae, Aoridae, Colomastigidae and Cyproideidae

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 Bemlos Shoemaker (1925). The collection included several additional species in the genera Amphilochus Bate, 1862, Ampithoe Leach (1814), Bemlos...

Life History and Production of the Western Gray Whale’s Prey, Ampelisca eschrichtii Krøyer, 1842 (Amphipoda, Ampeliscidae)

Ampelisca eschrichtii are among the most important prey of the Western North Pacific gray whales, Eschrichtius robustus. The largest and densest known populations of this amphipod occur in the gray whale's Offshore feeding area on the Northeastern Sakhalin Island Shelf. The remote location, ice cover and stormy weather at the Offshore area have prevented winter sampling. The incomplete annual s...

شناسایی دوجورپایان (Amphipoda) سواحل شرقی بحرکان در خلیج فارس، با تاکید بر دو خانواده غالبAmpithoidae و Ampeliscidae

شناسایی و طبقه بندی دوجورپایان(amphipoda) سوحل شرقی بحرکان در خلیج فارس.

دوجورپایان (amphipoda) متعلق به رده سخت پوستان (crustacea) و فوق راسته percarida می باشند. این موجودات نه تنها نقش مهمی در زنجیره غذایی آبزیان به عهده دارند، بلکه به عنوان شاخص آلودگی های دریایی نیز مورد استفاده قرار می گیرند. علی رغم کلیه مطالعات انجام شده بر روی بی مهرگان آبزی در خوریات از جمله خور بحرکان، ولیکن تاکنون دوجورپایان ساکن در بسترهای گلی سواحل شرقی آن، مورد مطالعه و شناسایی دقیقی ...
