In the case of with the Pacific Ocean, specifically from the end of benthic macrofauna, distribution and abundance are autumn until the beginning of spring. This lagoon has a mainly related to certain variables of the sediment- surface area of 57.4 km2, and its basin has a dry coastal water interface, where multiple effects of contamination landscape that is highly fragmented by anthropogenic and organic enrichment are exerted (GLÉMAREC, activities, with native oak-laurel-lingue and temo-pitra 1986). The principal physicochemical variables that forests (BERTRÁN et al., 2006; 2010). determine macrobenthic distribution are temperature, salinity, suspended solids, nitrates (HOLLAND et al., Sampling and analytical method 1987; BEUKEMA, 1990; FIERRO et al., 2015), and Sampling was performed in 2005 during each sediment characteristics, such as texture and organic of the four seasons at nine sampling stations: Budi material content (RITCHER, 1985; NICHOLS et al., River (E1), Temo (E2), Deume 1 (E3), Deume 2 1986). Macrobenthic organisms inhabit different types of (E4), Deume 3 (E5), Comue (E6), Bolleco (E7), sediments (HYNES, 1970) over the course of the year Allipen (E8), and Botapulli (E9) (Figure 1). At each (BERTRÁN, 1989; BERTRÁN et al., 2001; FIERRO et station, water was sampled using a Ruhtner bottle, al., 2012), generating varied distribution and abundance and the temperature and salinity of the bottom layer patterns (JARAMILLO et al., 2001). was measured. Sediment samples (5 replicates per The distribution of the macrobenthos has possible station) were also collected using an Emery Dredge application in estimating the spatial and temporal (0.25 m2) to sample the macrobenthos, characterize variations of different ecosystems, such as coastal sediment texture (FOLK, 1980), and determine lakes and estuaries. Lagoons are a non-continental, organic material (BYERS et al., 1978). Macrobenthos transitional ecosystem temporally influenced by samples were sieved through a 0.5 mm mesh, fixed in seawater (KJERFVE, 1994; PÉREZ-RUZAFA et al., 10% formalin, transported to the Bentos Laboratory 2011).

One such ecosystem unit is the Budi Lagoon, where the periodic entrance of seawater largely and seasonally modifies water parameters (BERTRÁN et al., 2010). Furthermore, the permanent presence of aquatic birds and anthropic activity in the watershed, particularly near the shoreline, means that this lagoon is constantly incorporating organic material (PEÑA- CORTÉS et al., 2006a; 2006b, 2011). The objective of this study was to explore the relationship between seasonal variations in benthic macrofauna communities and fluctuations in water characteristics of the coastal Budi Lagoon, including sediment texture and organic Figure 1.

We assessed parasite infection levels in the three host species and tested for effects on host survival, behavior, probability of pairing, and fecundity. Maritrema poulini and C. parvum were most abundant in P. exca- vatum but had no effect on its survival, whereas they negatively affected the survival of P. fluviatilis, the other amphipod. Female amphipods carrying young had higher M. poulini and C. parvum abundance than those without, yet the number of young car- ried was not linked to parasite abundance. Behavior of the isopod A. annectens was affected by M. poulini infection; more heavily infected individuals were more active. Paracorophium excavatum moved longer distances when abundance of C.

  • Ecotoxicology of Estuarine Amphipod Paracorophium Excavatum
    E icolo fEstua ·ne Amphipod Paracorophium excavatum A thesis Submitted in partial fulfilment the requirements for Degree of Master of Science in Environmental Science at The University of Canterbury by Carol Wong Hee Ting University of Canterbury 1999 ABSTRACT The estuarine tube dwelling amphipod Paracorophium excavatum was investigated for its suitability as a bio-indicator and bio-monitor. Distribution patterns of P. excavatum were determined at 13 sites in the Canterbury region that differed in particle size distribution ranging from sandy to muddy sediment, with overall10w organic content. Low tide salinity ranged from 5 to 33 0/00 between sites and sediment moisture content ranged between 23 to 41 % moisture. Amphipods were absent from most sites within the Avon-Heathcote Estuary. The availability, life history and fecundity of P. excavatum were compared from intertidal mudflat sites in Brooklands Lagoon and Kairaki over a period of thirteen months. Four sediment core samples were collected at monthly intervals and P. excavatum IS population structure and life history pattern studied. The life history til· <: of P. excavatum can be characterised bY fast-growing, annual, iteroporous, bivoltine, females ovigerous throughout the year and thelygenous (female biased) population. P. excavatum showed relative consistency in abundance throughout the year with monthly densities ranging from 875.79 per 0.1 m-2 (July) to 1754.77 per 0.1 m-2 (December) at Brooklands Lagoon and 1031.83 per 0.1 m2 (November) to 1780.24 per 0.1 m2 (December) at Kairaki.

HOGG Centre for Biodiversity and Ecology Research, Department of Biological Sciences, University of Waikato, Private Bag 3105, Hamilton, New Zealand Received 2 January 2003; accepted for publication 28 July 2003 Allozyme electrophoresis was used to examine population genetic structure at inter- and intraspecific levels for the New Zealand endemic corophiid amphipods, Paracorophium lucasi and P. excavatum. Individuals were collected from estuarine and freshwater habitats from North, South and Chatham Islands. Analyses of genetic structure among interspecific populations indicated clear allelic differentiation between the two Paracorophium species (Nei’s genetic distance, D = 1.62), as well as considerable intraspecific substructuring (D = 0.15–0.65). These levels of diver- gence are similar to interspecific levels for other amphipods and it is proposed that at least two groups from the P. lucasi complex and three from the P. excavatum complex correspond to sibling species. In most cases allopatry can account for the differentiation among the putative sibling species. For populations that share a common coastline we found low levels of differentiation and little or no correlation with geographical distance, suggesting that gene flow is adequate to maintain homogeneous population genetic structure. By contrast, populations on separate coastlines (i.e.

Although we think that the establishment of any conservation policies along the vast coastline of Chile must be based on a multitude of approaches and considerations, scientific, biological, and ecological principles should guide much ofthese efforts.

  • Amphipod Newsletter 27
    1 AMPHIPOD NEWSLETTER 27 Produced by Wim Vader, Tromsø Museum, N-9037 Tromsø, Norway ([email protected]) in May 2005. INTRODUCTION This newsletter mainly covers the amphipod literature for 2004, but as I have prepared files about all amphipods described since 1990 (to be published in Amphipod Newsletter 28 before long) I have here included a number of articles which I had earlier overlooked and which contain descriptions of new amphipod taxa (pp 34-38). I shall be very grateful, if colleagues could notify me of any omissions in and corrections to these lists. As I have done in the latest newsletters, I have again taken the liberty to copy an important revised classification in this newsletter; after the Baikal amphipods by Kamaltynov and the Corophiidea by Myers and Lowry this time the entirely revised classification of the Talitrida, resulting from the cladistic analysis of this group by Cristiana Serejo (2004), is written out on pp 39-40. As usual, I have also provided alphabetical and systematic indexes to the new amphipod taxa, that are described in the papers listed in this bibliography. In view of the state of flux in which amphipod systematics and classification finds itself these days, this is a complicated task and one where it will be impossible to please all colleagues. I have used a number of informal groups, where I have not been able to find formalized family names as yet. This is especially the case within the Lysianassoidea, where we eagerly await the magnum opus of Lowry & Stoddart, but also in some freshwater groups, where maybe mainly my own insufficient knowledge is to blame.
