“…Apherusa glacialis and Onisimus glacialis, the smallest amphipod species (corresponding to maximum body lengths of approx. 14 mm for both species; Beuchel & Lønne 2002, Arndt & Beuchel 2005 were entirely absent from the pelagic trawls (Fig. 4).…”

“…For the other amphipod species, life spans range between 2 yr (A. glacialis; Beuchel & Lønne 2002) and 3 to 4 yr (O. nanseni and O. glacialis, respectively;Arndt & Beuchel 2005). As far as we know, all species feature a relatively high reproductive potential.…”
“…The relationship between Ls and total body length (Lt) is Ls = Lt/(19.49 + 1.62) for Apherusa glacialis and Gammarus wilkitzkii (Beuchel & Lønne 2002) and Ls = Lt/(19.52 -0.27) for both Onisimus species (Arndt & Beuchel 2005). The samples were stored frozen for later biomass determination.…”

“…It has been shown by Arndt & Lønne (2002) that origin and drift history of sea ice to a large extent determine species composition and degree of 'maturation' of the ice ecosystem. Colonization of new sea ice is time dependent and, considering the different life history traits of ice amphipods (Beuchel & Lønne 2002, Arndt & Beuchel 2005, the sympagic ecosystem needs time to become established, with 2 to 3 yr old ice still in the developing process (Arndt & Lønne 2002). Our analysis of population structure shows a more biased distribution towards smaller size classes for the dominating species Gammarus wilkitzkii (Fig.…”

“…It is however clear that there are annual routines that seem to follow the same patterns among Arctic amphipods. Most of the species studied lay eggs in autumn or early winter, to incubate them through the winter and release the hatched juveniles in spring or summer (Węs8awski & Legeż y?ska 2002, Arndt & Beuchel 2006, Nygård et al 2009). Annual routines in growth and development are observed in O. litoralis, with the main growth occurring in summer, and the ontogenic development taking place during summer and autumn leading up to reproduction in early winter.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
