Stygobiotic crustacean species richness: a question of numbers, a matter of scale (2010, background): “The Crustacea are mostly represented in fresh water by the Copepoda, with approximately 2,800 species (Boxshall & Defaye, 2008), the Ostracoda, with about 2,000 species (Martens et al., 2008), and the Amphipoda, with some 1,800 species (Väinölä et al., 2008).”
Diversity, ecology and evolution of groundwater copepods (2009, background): “, 2008) and Amphipoda with some 1870 species (Väinölä et al., 2008) are by far the most species-rich crustacean groups.”
A review of the influence of low ambient calcium concentrations on freshwater daphniids, gammarids, and crayfish (2009, background): “These animals inhabit both lentic and lotic sediments (Vainola et al. 2008), and their geographic distribution includes areas of Ca decline.”
Borders of Biodiversity: Life at the Edge of the World's Large Lakes (2011, background): “Amphipods are notably absent from the African rift valley lakes, reflecting the generally low amphipod diversity in the African tropics (Väinölä et al. 2008).”
Microplastic Contamination in Freshwater Environments: A Review, Focusing on Interactions with Sediments and Benthic Organisms (2020, background): “As shown in Table 3, most of the research has been carried out using amphipods, which are a key component in aquatic food webs, acting as carriers of nutrients and energy to higher trophic levels [136].”
