The role of fine sediment characteristics and body size on the vertical movement of a freshwater amphipod

Abstract: Sedimentation and clogging (colmation) of interstitial pore spaces with fine sediment particles is widely considered to be one of the most significant threats to lotic ecosystem functioning. This paper presents the results of a running water mesocosm study examining the effect of benthic and hyporheic fine sediment loading and particle size on the vertical movement and distribution of the freshwater amphipod Gammarus pulex. A gradient of fine sediment loading and different particle sizes were used to examine t… Show more

“…The formation of surface‐layer clogs probably restricted the ability of G. pulex to migrate into subsurface sediments (sensu Mathers et al. ) and influenced predator–prey relationships, in this instance through survivorship of G. pulex (Figs. B, ).…”

“…As a result, no significant difference in the vertical distribution of G. pulex (with or without P. leniusculus) was observed. The formation of surface-layer clogs probably restricted the ability of G. pulex to migrate into subsurface sediments (sensu Mathers et al 2019) and influenced predatorprey relationships, in this instance through survivorship of G. pulex (Figs. 1B, 6).…”
