Specific Features of Mandible Structure and Elemental Composition in the Polyphagous Amphipod Acanthogammarus grewingkii Endemic to Lake Baikal
BACKGROUND: In crustaceans, several mechanisms provide for the mechanical strength of the cuticular “tools” (dactyli, claws, jaws), which serve to catch and crush food objects.
