Journal ArticleDOI
Autofluorescence imaging, an excellent tool for comparative morphology.
Joachim T. Haug,Carolin Haug,Verena Kutschera,Gerd Mayer,Andreas Maas,Stefan Liebau,Christopher Castellani,Uwe Wolfram,Euan N. K. Clarkson,Dieter Waloszek +9 more
TL;DR: Autofluorescence imaging is a powerful, easy and fast‐to‐apply tool for morphological studies and provides additional information for which otherwise more complex methods would have to be applied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Imaging and Documenting Gammarideans
TL;DR: Improvements of the illumination with polarized light and the possibilities of utilizing the autofluorescence of animals such as the gammarideans are discussed and software-based enhancing tools such as image fusion and image stitching are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mutual predation between and cannibalism within several freshwater gammarids: Dikerogammarus villosus versus one native and three invasives
TL;DR: It is concluded that superiority in intraguild predation (IGP) experiments could explain the disappearance of G. pulex and the missing or limited occurrence of E. berilloni since the arrival of D. villosus in Southern German rivers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mouthparts of the ponto-caspian invader dikerogammarus villosus (amphipoda: pontogammaridae)
TL;DR: Its ability to be carnivorous and to use a wide spectrum of other food may be an important reason for the success of this invader, being an advantage compared to mainly herbivorous gammarideans, which have been eliminated in many places by D. villosus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of substrate preference and complexity on co-existence of two non-native gammarideans (Crustacea: Amphipoda)
TL;DR: The hypothesis that the gammarids studied here have different substrate preferences and that presence of the preferred substrate can affect predation risk is supported and differences in use of spatial niches permit co-existence of G. roeselii and D. villosus in the wild when substrates are diverse.
