Extract

Major hotspots of amphipod species richness and of species and generic endemicity can be recognized in shallow seas. Recognition of ‘hotspots’ for amphipods must take account of the species-area relationship but not of latitude. The richness and endemicity of amphipods in the Mediterranean Sea is shown to be high when compared with other shallow seas This indicates a long in situ evolutionary history and is therefore not compatible with the hypothesis that the Mediterranean fauna was extirpated in the late Miocene.
