Abstract
SUMMARY The amphipod Talitrus saltator migrates from the moist zone near the shoreline inland to feed. The landward migration mainly occurs during the first few hours after midnight. The seaward migration take place around sunrise. The differences from night to night in the intensity of the landward migration are probably related to the quantity of food in the moist zone near the sea and to the level of environmental humidity.
