“…1). These populations were in all instances limited to very short stretches of the littoral fringe near the springs, < 100 m in length (see Ingólfsson et al . 2007 for examples), and the size of each population is therefore probably small.…”

“…In the temperate region they are usually uni-or bivoltine, but completion of three to four generations per year also occurs (Pinder 1986). Laboratory experiments have shown the effect of temperature on life cycles (Becker 1973, Mackey 1977, Brittain 1978, Al-Habbib & Grainger 1981, Elliott 1987, Galka & Brust 1987, Gíslason 1992, Frouz et al 2002, Reynolds & Benke 2005, but fewer studies have looked at life cycles at different temperatures in a natural setting (Lam & Calow 1989, Gíslason 1992, Nolte & Hoffmann 1992, Hodkinson et al 1996, Ingólfsson et al 2007 as we do in this study.…”

“…Previous studies have shown that temperature greatly influences some population parameters of amphipods (Gonçalves et al, 2003;Ingólfsson et al, 2007), and may affect the reproduction period of T. topitotum throughout its geographical range. Gonçalves et al (2003) showed that populations of the estuarine amphipod, Talorchestia brito (Stebbing, 1891), had longer reproductive periods in warmer areas, and Ingólfsson et al (2007) showed that temperature was the most important factor in triggering the reproductive phase in the coastal amphipod, Orchestia gammarellus (Pallas, 1766). In the present study, the recruitment period of T. topitotum was relatively short, from January to April, and comparison with other populations at different latitudes may help to clarify how temperature affects recruitment in this species.…”
