Talitridae
Talitridae is a family of amphipods. Terrestrial species are often referred to as landhoppers and beach dwellers are called sandhoppers or sand fleas. The name sand flea is misleading, though, because these talitrid amphipods are not siphonapterans (true fleas), do not bite people, and are not limited to sandy beaches. Marine amphipods are often washed up in the strandline, but die rapidly on drying out. Talitrids differ in being able to survive for a long time out of water; some Southern Hemisphere species are entirely terrestrial. It contains these genera: * '' Austropacifica'' Lowry & Springthorpe, 2019 * '' Floresorchestia'' Bousfield, 1984 * '' Gazia'' Lowry & Springthorpe, 2019 * ''Americorchestia'' Bousfield, 1991 * '' Asiaorchestia'' Lowry & Myers, 2019 * '' Britorchestia'' Lowry & Bopiah, 2012 * '' Persianorchestia'' Momtazi, Lowry & Hekmatara, 2017 * '' Pseudorchestoidea'' Bousfield, 1982 * '' Sardorchestia'' Ruffo in Tafani, Ugolini, Bazzicalupo, Mengoni & Ruffo, 2 ...

Amphipoda
Amphipoda is an order of malacostracan crustaceans with no carapace and generally with laterally compressed bodies. Amphipods range in size from and are mostly detritivores or scavengers. There are more than 9,900 amphipod species so far described. They are mostly marine animals, but are found in almost all aquatic environments. Some 1,900 species live in fresh water, and the order also includes the terrestrial sandhoppers such as ''Talitrus saltator''. Etymology and names The name ''Amphipoda'' comes, via New Latin ', from the Greek roots 'on both/all sides' and 'foot'. This contrasts with the related Isopoda, which have a single kind of thoracic leg. Particularly among anglers, amphipods are known as ''freshwater shrimp'', ''scuds'', or ''sideswimmers''. Description Anatomy The body of an amphipod is divided into 13 segments, which can be grouped into a head, a thorax and an abdomen. The head is fused to the thorax, and bears two pairs of antennae and one pair of s ...

Senticaudata
Senticaudata is one of the four suborders of the crustacean order Amphipoda (aka scuds, sideswimmers). It includes some 5000 species, which is more than 50% or the currently recognized amphipod diversity.Introduction
World Amphipoda Database (read 23 March 2014)
Senticaudata was split off from the traditional suborder by Lowry & Myers in 2013, as a part of a process of reorganising the higher taxonomy of amphipods. It now also encompasses the previously recognized and

Phliantidae
Phliantidae is a family of isopod-like amphipod crustaceans chiefly from the southern hemisphere. Description Members of the family Phliantidae are unusual among the order Amphipoda, because they have dorso-ventrally flattened bodies with a pronounced dorsal keel, rather than being flattened side-to-side. Because of this, and various other factors, including the square-ended form of the rostrum, they resemble isopods. Distribution and ecology Most species are found in the Southern Hemisphere, where they live on algae in the intertidal zone The intertidal zone, also known as the foreshore, is the area above water level at low tide and underwater at high tide (in other words, the area within the tidal range). This area can include several types of habitats with various species o .... Taxonomy Phliantidae was originally proposed by Thomas Roscoe Rede Stebbing in 1899 for a group that also contained the genera currently placed in the family Prophliantidae, while '' T ...

Life and education Eupraxie Gurjanova was born on 12 (25) January 1902 in Cherepovets, Novgorod province. Her father, Fedor Gurjanov, was originally from Kiev. He taught mathematics in Cherepovets real college for over 30 years and then became an inspector and received personal nobility. Gurjanova’s mother, Tatiana, was originally from Tver region. Gurjanova was the eighth of eleven children in the family. In 1919, Gurjanova entered Kazan University, where she attended lectures by Professor Nikolay Livanov, successfully passed the exams, but soon she contracted typhus and had to interrupt studies. After the illness the following year, Gurjanova was transferred to the biological department of the Physics and Mathematics Faculty ...
