Epimeriidae
Epimeriidae is a family of relatively large amphipods found in cold oceans around the world. Distribution, habitat and abundance Members of this family range from the intertidal zone to a depth of , but overall mostly and in the Southern Ocean mostly . The highest species richness is in the Southern Ocean south of the Antarctic Convergence, followed by deep parts of the Pacific Ocean, with only a few elsewhere, including the Magellanic region, Indian Ocean, Atlantic Ocean (both north and south) and Mediterranean Sea. In tropical and warm-temperate regions they only occur in deep, cold waters. The vast majority are generally slow-moving and benthic, but can move fast for short distance and a few species are pelagic or semi-pelagic. The family includes both species that are widespread and species with small ranges (typically restricted to an island, seamount or ridge), and very common species and rare species. Their abundance is often directly related to the epifauna abundance: ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Eupraxie Gurjanova
Eupraxie Fedorovna Gurjanova (25 January 1902, Cherepovets – 27 January 1981, Leningrad) was a Soviet hydrobiologist, carcinologist and zoogeographer, specialist in the systematics of isopod crustaceans and amphipods, doctor of biological sciences. 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 ...

Amphipod Genera
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 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
