VIIth International Colloquium on Amphipoda

Proceedings of the VIIth International Colloquium on Amphipoda held in Walpole, Maine, USA, September 14-16, 1990

Comparative fore-gut morphology of Antarctic Amphipoda (Crustacea) adapted to different food sources. - Methods for the study of amphipod swimming: behavior, morphology, and fluid dynamics. - Is the oostegite structure of amphipods determined by their phylogeny or is it an adaptation to their environment? . - The distribution and frequency of the type II microtrichs in somen gammaridean amphipods. - What can vicariance biogeographic models tell us about the distributional history of subterranean amphipods? . - Actual state of gammaridean taxonomy and catalogue of species from Chile. - Gammaridean and caprellidean fauna from Brazil. - Amphipods from hydrotechnical structures in the north-western part of the Black Sea. - Structure of a suprabenthic shelf sub-community of gammaridean Amphipoda in the Bay of Fundy compared with similar sub-communities in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. - Amphipod crustaceans as an important component of zoobenthos of the shallow Antarctic sublittoral. - Patterns of abundance of exoedicerotid amphipods on sandy beaches near Sydney, Australia. - Local distributions of sandhoppers and landhoppers (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Talitridae) in the coastal zone of western Tasmania. - Ingestion of live filamentous diatoms by the Great Lakes amphipod, Diporeia sp. : a case study of the limited value of gut contents analysis. - A comparison of water loss and gill areas in two supralittoral amphipods from New Zealand. - Lack of oxygen and low pH as limiting factors for Gammarus in Hessian brooks and rivers. - Volumetric growth in gammaridean Amphipoda. - Respiration of Orchomene plebs (Hurley, 1965) and Waldeckia obesa (Chevreux, 1905) from Admiralty Bay (South Shetland Islands, Antarctic). - Eco-physiological characteristics of some common caprellid species in the Possjet Bay (JapanSea). - A review of the reproductive bionomics of aquatic gammaridean amphipods: variation of life history traits with latitude, depth, aquatic salinity and superfamily. - Two types of maternal care for juveniles observed in Caprella monoceros Mayer, 1890 and Caprella decipiens Mayer, 1890 (Amphipoda: Caprellidae). - Tube-building behavior in Grandidierella, and two species of Cerapus. - Precopulatory mating behavior and sexual dimorphism in the amphipod Crustacea. - Redescription of Caprogrammarus gurjanovae Kudrjaschov & Vassilenko, 1966 (Crustacea: Amphipoda) from Hokkaido, Japan, with notes on the taxonomic status of Caprogammarus. - A new marine interstitial ingolfiellid (Crustacea, Amphipoda, Ingolfiellidea) from Tenerife and Hierro.
