Gammarus
''Gammarus'' is an amphipod crustacean genus in the family Gammaridae. It contains more than 200 described species, making it one of the most species-rich genera of crustaceans. Different species have different optimal conditions, particularly in terms of salinity, and different tolerances; '' Gammarus pulex'', for instance, is a purely freshwater species, while '' Gammarus locusta'' is estuarine, only living where the salinity is greater than 25 ‰. Species of ''Gammarus'' are the typical " scuds" of North America and range widely throughout the Holarctic. A considerable number are also found southwards into the Northern Hemisphere tropics, particularly in Southeast Asia. Species The following species are included: Four new species were found in 2018 on the Tibetan Plateau. Four more new species were described from the Chihuahuan Desert in 2021. *'' Gammarus abscisus'' G. Karaman, 1973 *'' Gammarus abstrusus'' Hou, Platvoet & Li, 2006 *'' Gammarus acalceolatus'' Pinkster, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
