Little Shrimp Makes Big Splash Beneath Antarctica
2010年3月17日 · The video captured an unexpected visitor -- a pinkish-orange shrimp creature, known as a Lyssianasid amphipod, swimming beneath the ice. Behar designed the original NASA borehole camera apparatus in 1999.
Shrimp-like creature found deep below Antarctic ice | CBC News
2010年3月15日 · A Lyssianasid amphipod, a creature related to a shrimp, swims in the water where a NASA team lowered a video camera to get the first look at the underbelly of an ice sheet.
Lysianassidae - The Australian Museum
Seven genera and eleven species of lysianassid amphipods are recorded from the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia. Six species are new to science. Six of the eleven species are considered to be scavengers.
Foraging of Scavenging Deep-Sea Lysianassoid Amphipods
Literature on the biology and ecology of bait-attending, deep-sea lysianassoid amphipods was critically reviewed to assess our current understanding of their foraging. Olfaction, possibly combined with a rheotactic swimming behavior, is probably the principal means...
Phylogenetic relationships among hadal amphipods of the …
2015年11月1日 · Amphipods of the superfamily Lysianassoidea are ubiquitous at hadal depths (>6000 m) and therefore are an ideal model group for investigating levels of endemism and the drivers of speciation in deep ocean trenches.
Scavenging and other feeding habits of lysianassid amphipods
2017年5月2日 · The distribution and scavenging habits of the two most abundant lysianassid amphipods in McMurdo Sound differ markedly. Orchomene plebs lives primarily in deep water (>100 m), where planktonic and benthic food is sparser and scavenging events are less common and predictable than in shallower water.
Lysianassidae - Zootaxa
2009年10月8日 · Seven genera and eleven species of lysianassid amphipods are recorded from the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia. Six species are new to science. Six of the eleven species are considered to be scavengers. The Great Barrier Reef lysianassid fauna is more similar to that of the tropical Indo-West Pacific than to that of temperate Australia.
Fishing for scavengers: an integrated study to amphipod
In our integrated study of scavenging lysianassoid amphipods from Potter Cove, we contributed to the biodiversity inventory of the Antarctic marine fauna by analysing more than 43,900 amphipod specimens representing ten lysianassoid species in two families.
One of the most striking features of marine amphipods is that they tend to be small in shallow tropical water but rather large in the Arctic, Antarctic and the deep sea.
