Scuds
Hi. I find this a bit complicated. Scud seems to be a general name for Amphipoda. Not only talitrid amphipods but also a wide range of other families, amongst them gammarids. It is a bit like saying: lions are also known as cats, which is strictly spoken correct, but not the most elegant way to refer to those felids. It may be possible to mention the name scud in the Talitridae article, probably not as in scuds=Talitridae, but rather something like Talitridae are a type of scud...
