Abstract
Habitat selection and life cycle characteristics are given for five species of the amphipod genus Gammarus living in the central Baltic Sea. Gammarus oceanicus is nearly omnipresent and coexists with G. locusta, G. salinus, and G. zaddachi. The three latter species show migrations between habitat types in tight correlation with their breeding periods. Gammarus duebeni is mainly found in rockpools. This behaviour results in a complete separation of the breeding species populations. These findings are discussed in relation to minimum requirements for coexistence, i.e. displaced breeding periods and non-overlapping size distributions, and to mating com
