Amphipod - Britannica.com
Any member of the invertebrate order Amphipoda (class Crustacea) inhabiting all parts of the sea, lakes, rivers, sand beaches, caves, and moist (warm) habitats on many tropical islands. Marine amphipods have been found at depths of more than 9,100 m (30,000 feet). Freshwater and marine beach species are commonly known as scuds; those that occupy sand beaches are called sand hoppers, or sand fleas (see sand flea). About 4,600 species have been described. Extraordinarily abundant in the rocky coastal regions of all seas and often exceeding densities of 10,000 per square m (1,000 per square foot), amphipods are often mistaken for tiny shrimp, which they resemble.

Stygobiont crustaceans
Stygobiont Crustaceans; the phylogeny and biogeography of ground water and cave dwelling amphipods and isopods. The research group of Systematic Zoology at the University of Amsterdam works at several projects, all leading to the assessment of biodiversity on a global scale. One of these projects comprises the biogeography, evolutionary history and conservation of ground water crustaceans (small shrimp-like, blind animals) of marine origin. [eng] |

Illinois Cave Amphipod
The Illinois cave amphipod, a small, cave-dwelling crustacean, has been proposed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as an endangered species, initiating a review process that will help the Service determine whether the amphipod should come under protection of the Endangered Species Act. The species is already listed by the State of Illinois as a state endangered species. [eng] |

Talitridae (Crustacea: Amphipoda)
Fauna of New Zealand 31, 128 pages. (ISSN 0111-5383; no. 31). Amphipods are a very successful group that tend to specialise in eating low-quality food such as algal fronds and plant wastes. Their ability to thrive on such unattractive but vastly abundant material is one reason for their great success. [eng] |
