🦐 Two new amphipod species, Niphargus almensis and Niphargus uchansi, have been discovered in the underground rivers of Crimea, representing the first riverine hyporheic niphargids recorded from the peninsula and expanding our knowledge of these freshwater crustaceans: doi.org/10.3897/zse.102.206462

In April 1948, in a cave in Devon, a tiny, blind shrimp was found in a cave - a species that had never been seen before. It was named Niphargus glenniei, the British Cave Shrimp, and in the years since it has never been seen anywhere outside of Devon and Cornwall; a species endemic to Britain.

An #Amphipod blast! Made some great observations while doing #fieldwork in the Ajoie🇨🇭/Sundgau🇫🇷:
Densities of >1000 individuals of #Gammarus at 10x10 cm riverbed, #Niphargus in the Clos du Doue, and hundreds of free-swimming Gammarids.

Such a rewarding day!

Discovered in 1669, Pen Park Hole (underneath Filton Golf Course) is a cave system formed by the rise and fall of geothermal water. It measures 61 metres deep and 250 metres wide.
It is home to a rare species of cave shrimp - Niphargus kochianus, which thrives in the total darkness.

I had to look up groundwater shrimp! Niphargus glenniei looks unlikely on the face of it, but yes it would be a confusing trip…

![Soweit bekannt, jagen sie unspezifisch im Lebensraum anzutreffende kleine Krebstiere wie Wasserasseln, Flohkrebse (Gammarus und den Höhlenflohkrebs Niphargus) und die kleine höhlenlebende Süßwassergarnele Troglocaris, außerdem Würmer (Oligochaeten). Im Experiment sind sie wenig wählerisch und fressen alles, was sie überwältigen können.[24] Zu natürlichen Feinden des Grottenolms ist wenig bekannt. Wolfgang Briegleb vermutet, dass die Art nicht in Gewässern leben kann, in denen Flusskrebse vorkommen. Ein spezialisierter Parasit, Chloromyxum protei Joseph, 1905 (Myxozoa), der in der Niere parasitiert, ist bisher ausschließlich aus dieser Art nachgewiesen.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pv74r6i3pseqgzmzjilsq4eb/bafkreigashdinsnr5iv4ouvbpvowdm52nptycxhvfevt5jxlbnghp4b37e)
