Crostacei Anfipodi associati ai reef di Sabellaria alveolata (Annelida: Sabellariidae) del Canale di Sicilia (Mar Mediterraneo)

We describe diversity and patterns of spatial distribution of the amphipod fauna associated with reefs of the polychaete Sabellaria alveolata (L.) in the Sicily Strait. Samples were collected in June 2013, at three localities. Amphipod assemblages appeared homogeneous in the study area with variability increasing with decreasing spatial scale of observation. Jassa ocia (Bate) and Gammaropsis ulrici Krapp-Schickel & Myers characterized the studied assemblages.

Re-description of Orchestia stephenseni (CRUSTACEA: AMPHIPODA: TALITRIDAE) with remarks on variation of the Gn2 and DNA-barcoding identification.

Talitraits: a taxonomic backbone for talitrid amphipods’ traits

Tassonomia e Conservazione. La presenza di caratteri polimorfici nei Crostacei Anfipodi risulta un fattore limitante per la delimitazione delle specie.

The Taxonomy Lab: a sentinel for Mediterranean bioinvasions

First Mediterranean record and DNA-Barcode of Eulalia ornata (PHYLLODOCIDAE, ANNELIDA) associated to Sabellaria alveolata (SABELLARIIDAE, ANNELIDA)reef.

Amphipod assemblage under the influence of desalination plants in the south-eastern Mediterranean

A check-list of amphipod assemblage, collected in the vicinity of two Israeli desalination plant marine outfalls, is provided with some notes about the species. The dataset highlights changes in species composition throughout the years, possibly due to local anthropogenic impacts.
