The species concept is the cornerstone of biodiversity science, and any paradigm shift in the
delimitation of species affects many research fields. Many biologists now are embracing a …

During the last years DNA barcoding has become a popular method of choice for molecular
specimen identification. Here we present a comprehensive DNA barcode library of various …

Abstract The genus Gammarus (Amphipoda) is one of the most speciose genera of
Crustacea, yet much uncertainty remains concerning taxonomy and systematic …

The freshwater amphipod Gammarus fossarum Koch, in Panzer, 1836 is a locally abundant
keystone species mainly occuring in European headwaters but also in larger rivers. Genetic …

In order to examine the physiological capabilities of marine invertebrates in their natural
environment, a series of physiological measurements were conducted on congeneric …

Biogeography investigates spatial patterns of species distribution. Discontinuities in species
distribution are identified as boundaries between biogeographic areas. Do these …

Biodiversity conservation and the identification of conservation units among invertebrates
are complicated by low levels of morphological difference, particularly among aquatic taxa …

Intertidal and subtidal communities of the western and eastern coasts of the North Atlantic
Ocean were greatly affected by Pleistocene glaciations, with some taxa persisting on both …

Aim In this study we test molecular‐based biogeographical hypotheses of Pleistocene
persistence and recolonization in a North Atlantic rocky intertidal invertebrate assemblage …

In attempting to understand the distributions of both introduced species and the native
species on which they impact, there is a growing trend to integrate studies of behaviour with …
