Will shrinking body size and increasing species diversity of crustaceans follow the warming of the Arctic littoral?
Abstract Over thirty species of littoral marine Gammaridea occur along the coasts of the North Atlantic. From one to several species can coexist in a single region. There is an evident, inverse relationship between egg incubation time and temperature (from 14 to >120 days) and consequent trends i...
