New data on the distribution of stenothoid amphipods (Crustacea) from Scotia Arc, West Antarctic

Abstract

This paper presents new records of stenothoids from the Scotia Arc (West Ant− arctic). Altogether twenty species were recorded, two of which are reported in the West Antarctic for the first time. In addition, two species are here recorded for the first time since their description. New data on distribution are supplemented by taxonomical remarks on the collected species.

Assemblages and habitat preferences of soft bottom Antarctic Amphipoda: Admiralty Bay case study

“…Bellan-Santini (1972) reported it from the stations with stones and hydrozoans, bryozoans and sponges, whereas Ren and Huang (1991) found it on sandy and muddy bottoms. The largest collection of this species is reported by Jażdżewska and Krapp-Schickel (2011); however, apart from depth, no other ecological data for the stations studied were available.…”

“…Little is known about the last species in the ubiquitous species group-Scaphodactylus dentimanus. This taxon was reported from a very wide depth range (0-1000 m) Jażdżewska and Krapp-Schickel 2011), but until 2011 it was known from less than 20 individuals. Bellan-Santini (1972) reported it from the stations with stones and hydrozoans, bryozoans and sponges, whereas Ren and Huang (1991) found it on sandy and muddy bottoms.…”

“…Since 1976, this family has kept me busy, publishing alone or with others on various members , 1993, 1996a, 1999, 2000, 2006a, 2006b, 2009a, 2009b, 2009c, 2010, 2011a, 2011b, 2013a, 2013bKrapp-Schickel 1996, Krapp-Schickel andKoenemann 2006;Jażdżewska and Krapp-Schickel 2011).…”
