In addition to the well-known freshwater occurrence of Gammarus duebeni in the inland of Ireland, a similar inland occurrence in the western part of Brittany (= Bretagne, France) is demonstrated. In Brittany, as in Ireland, G. duebeni occurs in waters with low sodium concentrations (often less than 23 mg/l), whereas elsewhere in its range, G. duebeni lives in waters with a raised sodium content (either in mixohaline waters, or in “fresh” waters loaded with salts through gales from sea). Reid has proposed the designation G. duebeni α for the Irish freshwater form, G. duebeni ß for the brackish water form. The subdivision of G. duebeni is strongly reinforced by the findings of Sutcliffe et al., indicating physiological differences between the α and ß form.... |
