A Preliminary Study of the Distribution, Food and Reproductive Capacity of Some Fresh-Water Amphipods (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Synopsis
A detailed look at how four freshwater amphipods live, feed, and reproduce.
This study explains where each form is found, what they eat, and how their breeding works across seasons.
This edition compiles observations from Ithaca-area waters, Cayuga Lake, and nearby streams. It covers variations in size, habitat, food sources, and the timing of molts and reproduction. The findings tie temperature and vegetation to where and when these amphipods thrive.- Where each species is distributed and how their ranges change with season and habitat
- What they eat, including plants, detritus, and animal tissue, and how they select food
- Reproductive cycles, egg counts, incubation times, and how moulting relates to oviposition
- How temperature and environment influence moulting, breeding, and survival
