Ecology of the burrowing amphipod, Pontoporeia affinis, in Lake Michigan / by Wayne Paul Alley.

ABSTRACT The ecology of the burrowing amphipod Pontoporeia affinis in Lake Michigan by Wayne P. Alley The Great Lakes Research Division of the University of Michigan collected macrobenthos samples and measured environmental parameters at 35 stations in the southern two-thirds of Lake Michigan. The stations of this three year long-term study were sampled monthly in triplicate from August to November 1964, from April to November 1965, and from March to November 1966. Environmental parameters: sediment type, percent carbon in the sediment, water temperature, distance from shore, and depth were chosen as variables likely to affect the abundance and distribution of the macrobenthic biota. A second study site, called the short-term study area, was located off Mona Lake, Michigan. Eighty-eight samples were collected there 13-14 June 1967 by two divers using a hand coring device. Physical and biological parameters collected at these two study areas were utilized in studying the ecology of the burrowing amphipod Pontoporeia affinis in Lake Michigan. The patterns of reproduction, changes in seasonal abundance, patterns of spatial distribution, and the xiii
