A review of the reproductive bionomics of aquatic gammaridean amphipods: variation of life history traits with latitude, depth, salinity and superfamily

  • Chapter
VIIth International Colloquium on Amphipoda

Part of the book series: Developments in Hydrobiology ((DIHY,volume 70))

Abstract

Life history traits (mean and maximum body length of females, number of embryos per brood = brood size, embryo diameter, number of broods per female, lifespan of females) for 302 populations of aquatic gammaridean amphipods, representing 214 species in 16 superfamilies, were reviewed. The variation of these traits, of lifetime potential fecundity (i.e. the number of embryos produced per female lifespan) and of reproductive potential (i.e. the number of embryos produced per female per year), with temperature (latitude), depth, salinity and superfamily, was investigated by various univariate and multivariate methods. Gammaridean amphipods comprise semelparous and iteroparous populations and species, with semiannual, annual, biannual or perennial life cycles. However, most gammarideans studied so far are iteroparous annuals. Body length explains most of the variation in brood size and embryo diameter. The reproductive potential may be increased by increasing body size for a constant breeding frequency, by increasing brood size at the expense of smaller embryos, by increasing breeding frequency for a constant lifespan at the expense of smaller individual broods and/or embryos, and by increasing longevity for a constant breeding frequency and brood size. Combinations of these different options constitute the life history patterns of gammarideans, which vary across superfamilies, latitude and depth, and cannot simply be explained by variations in body length. High latitude species were generally characterized by biannual or perennial life histories, large body size, delayed maturity, and single or few broods with many, relatively large embryos; converse sets of traits characterized low latitude species. Deep-living species had relatively smaller broods and embryos than their shallow-living relatives, yet did not produce more broods. However, different superfamilies dominated in different habitats. The importance of natural selection relative to phylogenetic (historical) and physiological constraints in the forging of these patterns is discussed.
