Until 1974 Gammarus ibericus was known only from the type-locality in Spain. In that year, Goedmakers recorded the species from many localities in the Massif Central, France. Indeed, these populations show a great morphological resemblance to the Spanish ones. These French populations were used in cross-breeding experiments with other populations from southern France, without result. Attempts to hybridize these populations with the G. ibericus from the type-locality also failed to produce any offspring. Electrophoretic studies showed that the French and Spanish populations are very different from a biochemical point of view; these differences are much greater than between any of the known freshwater species (or populations) from western Europe. It is... |
