The deep ocean is a vast reservoir of biodiversity that harbors unique species, communities, and ecosystems,” write the ...

Visitors to the shores of Eilat in the northern Gulf of Aqaba, Red Sea, during March and April in the past two years were met with an unexpected sight—the shores were tinged with a striking pink hue.

Researchers studied the annual mass deaths of pink amphipods in Eilat. Climate change and disease were ruled out.

In early 2009, we filed suit with allies to gain adequate critical habitat for these three species and 14 others; in late 2012, the Obama administration proposed to expand critical habitat for the ...

When the Hay's spring amphipod was protected under the Endangered Species Act in 1982, biologists thought that this species' habitat had been reduced to just a single, tiny spring inside the ...

The study identified 14 different microsporidian molecular operational taxonomic units (MOTUs) infecting six amphipod species, expanding the known interactions between these parasites and their hosts.

Xu Xun, director of BGI-Research, emphasized the importance of the research in redefining human understanding of deep-sea ...

“The discovery was almost by accident—we hadn’t been looking for new species,” says Baker. “It was beyond my wildest expectations to find something so interesting and bizarre.” These tiny white ...

Ducibella camanacha causes specialized raptorial appendages to capture and prey upon smaller amphipod species in the Atacama Trench’s food-limited realm. The trench stretches along the eastern ...

At nearly 4 centimeters in length, this crustacean uses specialized raptorial appendages to capture and preyupon smaller amphipod species.The newly discovered crustacean is the first large ...

Among the discoveries was the genetic makeup of Hirondellea gigas, an amphipod species that thrives at extreme depths. The team unveiled the first genome of this deep-sea animal, which shed light ...
