  1. Rare giant "shrimp" is more widespread than previously believed, new findings reveal phys.org/news/2025-05-rare-gia

    The supergiant #amphipod Alicella gigantea may inhabit over half of the world’s oceans royalsocietypublishing.org/doi

    "#Amphipods like A. gigantea are #shrimp-like #crustaceans known for their narrow frames and a signature hump-backed curl in their posture. They roam the #DeepSea, from the abyssal depths (3,000–6,000 m) to beyond hadal zones (>6,000 m)"

  2. Carving a block for the final subterranean invertebrate for #InsertAnInvert2024. Stygofauna are aquatic animals who live underground. This one is a crustacean!

    👋 I am a senior research assistant in the #Altermatt_lab at #University_of_Zurich and #Eawag.

    My research focuses on #amphipods, their #diversity and #distribution, both in epigean and subterranean #ecosystems. I combine field data and laboratory experiments to study the influence of connectivity on #diversity and the role of #amphipods for #ecosystem functioning in #freshwater.
