In the autumn, at stable low important medium- and small-scale factors can include discharge, the total density of stoneflies was significantly stream size, substratum and water quality. higher in the undisturbed streams. Microhabitats such as A windstorm in November 2004 flattened 12,000 macrolithal (boulders), mesolithal (stones) and moss had hectares of forest along southerly oriented slopes of the Tatra higher stonefly density.

Very narrow this windstorm caused large scale destruction of mature forests spatial niches were found for the genera Rhabdiopteryx, over such an extensive area, including that of the riverine Protonemura and Perlodes. The spatial niche overlap was landscape of the brooks, this unique natural disturbance low between the genera Rhabdiopteryx and Brachyptera, provided a great opportunity for ecological research [5,6]. but was high between species of the Protonemura and The Plecoptera are one of the best bioindicators of Leucra genera. The highest biodiversity of stoneflies was human disturbances in streams [7]. Within the benthic on coarser substrata (except boulders) and moss, the macroinvertebrates, stoneflies are selected for evaluation lowest biodiversity was on the finer substrata.

ABSTRACT Structure and diversity of the benthic macroinvertcbrate fauna were st~tdiedin two deciduous forest streams in Central Portugal. In the three sampling occasions. 120 tax-cl were collected from the two streams. Number of tci,xci per sampling occasion ranged from 53 to 60. Macroinvertebrate densities ranged from 1465 to 2365. Insects were the most abundant taxonomic group (280 ?h) in all samples. Detritivorous invertebrates were numerically dominant in both streams, representing 62 to 85 5% of the total macroinvertebratc community.

Outside of Scotland, this species has only ever been found in two areas – the River Usk in Wales and the Wye near Hereford, where it is now thought to be extinct. As an endemic species, the UK population is of international significance. Surveys in the last 15 years have confirmed that the Northern February red is present in the Dee from Linn of Dee downstream, a number of Dee tributaries and along the River Spey.

  • A Review of the Stoneflies (Plecoptera) of Great Britain
    Natural England Commissioned Report NECR174 A review of the stoneflies (Plecoptera) of Great Britain Species Status No.20 First published 12 February 2015 www.gov.uk/natural-england Foreword Natural England commission a range of reports from external contractors to provide evidence and advice to assist us in delivering our duties. The views in this report are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent those of Natural England. Background Decisions about the priority to be attached to the conservation of species should be based upon objective assessments of the degree of threat to species. The internationally-recognised approach to undertaking this is by assigning species to one of the IUCN threat categories using the IUCN guidelines. This report was commissioned to update the national threat status of stoneflies. It covers all stoneflies, identifying those that are rare and/or under threat as well as non-threatened and non- native species. Reviews for other invertebrate groups will follow. Natural England Project Manager - Jon Webb, [email protected] Contractor - Buglife (project management), Craig Macadam (author) Keywords - stoneflies, Plecoptera, invertebrates, red list (IUCN), status reviews Further information This report can be downloaded from the Natural England website: www.naturalengland.org.uk.
