| Notes | Studied Corophium salmonis and C. spinicorne in 5 areas of the Oregon Coast from March to December, 1969. Found that both species can live in freshwater. Population blooms in the summer and falls in the winter. C. salmonis seems to prefer a mud substrate, while C. spinicorne seems to prefer sand. Noted densities and sediment turned over by these burrowing animals. Maps. Doctoral dissertation. Major professor was John H. Lyford. |
