M. A. TIMOFEEV, K. A. KIRICHENKO
Abstract
The data obtained in experimental estimation of the attitude of several endemic amphipoda species toward the main environmental factors (temperature and the extent of water saturation with oxygen) are described. Thermoresistivity of amphipoda, stability to hypoxia, thermal preferences are described. In order to estimate the role of abiotic factors of environment in containment of endemics spreading off Lake Baikal, and to elucidate the role of mechanisms providing immiscibility phenomenon, the obtained data are compared with the expansion of the investigated species beyond Lake Baikal along the Angara
