The new facilities include a well-equipped modern clas- sroom, which should cover the wide-ranging needs of the many degrees that are taught here. At the moment, it hosts all the courses of the joint Bachelor of Medicine (UPF-UAB), the UPF Human Biology degree, Physio- therapy at the UAB and Nursing School, and the first three cour- ses of the Bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Engineering from the UPF. To the traditional classrooms and labs, we have added semi- nar rooms, as well as others for practicing clinical skills and simulations. It is also expected that in the future a dissection room will be added. Of course, a small organisa- tional effort will have to be made in order to accommodate and develop all these activities in the renovated building, which is big... but not infinite.

    Amphipoda of the Northeast Pacific (Equator to Aleutians, intertidal to abyss): XIV. Gammaroidea – an updated and expanded review Donald B. Cadien, LACSD 22Jul2004 (revised 1Mar2015) Preface The purpose of this review is to bring together information on all of the species reported to occur in the NEP fauna. It is not a straight path to the identification of your unknown animal. It is a resource guide to assist you in making the required identification in full knowledge of what the possibilities are. Never forget that there are other, as yet unreported species from the coverage area; some described, some new to science. The natural world is wonderfully diverse, and we have just scratched its surface. Introduction to the Gammaroidea The superfamily, while having both marine and freshwater members, is most prominent in epigean fresh-waters. Marine occurrences are coastal, with no superfamily members belonging to pelagic or deep-sea communities. There is a vast literature on the fresh-water members of the superfamily, particularly in European waters, where they have been studied for centuries. According to Bousfield (1982) they are a fairly recently derived group which appeared in the Tertiary. The superfamily contains a number of families not represented in the NEP, including the Acanthogammaridae, Caspicolidae, Macrohectopidae, Micruropidae, Pachyschesidae, and the Typhlogammaridae. These families are most prominent in Indo- European fresh-water habitats. The Gammaridae is poorly represented in the NEP, with only one widely distributed arctic-boreal form, and two species introduced from the Atlantic. One additional member of the family has been introduced to the waters of the saline relict Salton Sea, now landlocked in southern California (J.

  • Life Cycles of Some Arctic Amphipods
    vol. 23, no. 3–4, pp. 253–264, 2002 Life cycles of some Arctic amphipods Jan Marcin WĘSŁAWSKI and Joanna LEGEŻYŃSKA Instytut Oceanologii Polskiej Akademii Nauk, Powstańców Warszawy 55, 81−712 Sopot, Poland <[email protected]> ABSTRACT: Life cycles, number of eggs per female, minimal adult female length and re− productive costs are presented for 18 species of Amphipoda from the West Spitsbergen area, 77–79°N. Fifteen species incubated eggs during the polar night and released their off− spring in early April. Three species incubated eggs from late spring till late summer. The appearance of the youngest juveniles, indicating the hatching period, is presented for 63 species. Most of the species studied were K strategists, with large eggs of over 1 mm diame− ter; only one species (Hyperoche medusarum) was r – strategist. Key words: Arctic amphipods, breeding, life cycles, eggs incubation. Introduction Amphipods are a speciose group and constitute an ecologically important com− ponent of polar fjords ecosystems (Jażdżewski et al. 1995). Spitsbergen amphi− pods have been relatively well recognised from the faunistic point of view (Stephensen 1935–40, Palerud and Vader 1991, Gulliksen et al. 1999), and ecol− ogy (Lagardere 1968, Węsławski 1990, Jażdżewski et al. 1995, Legeżyńska 2001). Except for ice−associated taxa (sympagic) (Poltermann 1997) and intertidal species (Węsławski et al. 2000) there is no published data on the breeding biology or pro− duction of Svalbard amphipods. Breeding of amphipods from other Arctic regions is not well known; there are some data from the southern Barents Sea (Kuznetsov 1964, Tzvetkova 1977), Canadian Arctic, and Greenland (Dunbar 1957, Steele 1967, 1972; Steele and Steele 1970, 1972, 1973, 1975 a, b, c, 1978).

Distribution and habitat preferences of some intertidal amphipods in Iceland AGNAR INGOLFSSON Institute of Biology, University of Iceland, Reykjavik. Abstract. A total of 801 samples of amphipods from 71 sampling stations on all coasts of Iceland were analysed. Results are presented for eleven species belonging to the families Gammaridae and Tali­ tridae. Three species have a limited distribution around the coasts of Iceland, while the remaining species are found more or less commonly on all coasts where suitable shores exist. The distributional patterns observed were compared to those shown by the same species on the western and eastern coasts of the Atlantic. It is concluded that temperature is an important factor controlling the distribution of these amphipods. Habitat partitioning was analysed by use of 41 habitat categories under eleven main headings. Each of the eleven species was found to have a habitat distribution different from that of the other species, with the possible exception of one species pair.

  • Amphipod Newsletter 32
    1 AMPHIPOD NEWSLETTER 32 This is the last amphipod newsletter that I prepare, before I officially retire from my curatorship and professorate at the University of Tromsø per 1 January 2008. I shall continue to work on amphipods, but it will become still more complicated to keep à jour with the extensive amphipod literature, and if colleagues deem that it is still useful to have an Amphipod Newsletter, somebody soon has to take over the responsibility, although I shall contribute as much as I can as long as I can. Also this time I have had much help with the bibliography; as usual Egor Vinogradov (Moskva) and Franz Krapp (Bonn) regularly sent in references, and Drs Ariyama and Tomikawa helped out with Chinese and Japanese literature.

Many studies are directed to contribute to the biology of a species (Watkin, 1941 ; Amanieu, 1969; Steele and Steele, 1969--1975c; Dexter, 1971; etc.) and some have been done to afford the basis for production study of a species (Cooper, 1965; Klein, 1975) and still some are with the intention to give ecological consideration of niche or population in several species (Hynes, 1954; Croker, 1967; Sameoto, 1969a,b). Only a few, however, treated the life history in its morphological aspect. The present study deals with the results of investigation into the life history and breeding activity of Orchestia platensis in view to afford the basis for morphological discussion in the succeeding paper. I am deeply indebted to Prof. E. Harada of the Seto Marine Biological Labora­ tory, for his encouragements and critical advices, and reading of the manuscripts.

Interesting variations were observed in the strategies employed by gammarid amphipods to cope with environmental change. The boreal/temperate species, Gammarus duebeni, exhibits a high upper thermal tolerance and acclimatory ability, but at the cost of reduced growth and reproductive output. The warmer-water G. locusta appears to have a narrower tolerance and reduced ability to adjust to rapid temperature change, but at stable conditions within its thermal window and at higher salinities it is able to out-perform G.

Suitable conditions for large-scale culture were determined in a series of experiments. E_. confervicolus demonstrated wide salinity and temperature tolerances, with best survival at low salinities (5 - 10^/00) and temperatures (5 - 10 C). Populati on densities greater than 2 mg/1 reduced amphipod growth and survival, although densities may be increased with a flow- through system.
