Populations of the stygobiotic amphipod Palearcticarellus pusillus (Martynov, 1930) maintain genetic connectivity between the mountain springs and the deep bottom habitats of Lake Teletskoye (Altai Mountains, Russia)
Ivan Marin Dr., Liubov Yanygina, Svetlana Ostroukhova, and Dmitry Palatov

  • A relationship is observed between amphipod populations in mountain springs and deep-sea lakes, possibly due to deep tectonic faults
  • A new version of tiny body size of stygobiotic amphipod is suggested
  • A time calibration for amphipod evolution process in Altai mountain is presented
  • A rare stygobiotic amphipod is re-described
  • A new data on ecology of rare amphipods in Altai Mountains are presented
