| Summary: | Four sympatric species of semiterrestrial talitrid amphipods were found from quantitative samples taken monthly at Lake Wyman in Boca Raton, Florida from October 1985 through September 1986. These included three beach flea species, Platorchestia platensis (Kroyer), Tethorchestia sp. (undescribed), and Tethorchestria antillensis Bousfield, and one palustral species, Chelorchestria sp. (undescribed). Notes on the vertical distribution, seasonal abundance, size class distribution, reproductive dynamics, and general ecology are given for all talitrid species with emphasis on the most abundant species, Platorchestria platensis and Tethorchestria sp. | |
