Resource Use By Amphipoda (Crustacea: Peracarida) On The Outer Continental Shelf Of The Middle Atlantic Bight: Implications To Community Structure, Linda C. Schaffner Jan 1980

Resource Use By Amphipoda (Crustacea: Peracarida) On The Outer Continental Shelf Of The Middle Atlantic Bight: Implications To Community Structure, Linda C. Schaffner

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

Benthic communities on the outer continental shelf of the Middle Atlantic Bight are characterized by abundant populations of amphipods in the families Ampeliscidae and Corophiidae. Members of these families occupy tubes at or near the sediment surface and, thus, potentially compete with each other for spatial and trophic resources. This study examines the spatial, temporal and trophic resource use of six numerically dominant species in these families as a means of assessing the relative importance of competition as a structuring force in outer shelf benthic communities.
