147-157. Copenhagen 1981 a Model of Seston Capture by Net OIKOS 36: 147-157. Copenhagen 1981 A model of seston capture by net-spinning caddisflies Theodore J. Georgian, Jr. and J. Bruce Wallace Georgian, T. J. Jr. and Wallace, J. B. 1981. A model of seston capture by net-spin- ning caddisflies. - Oikos 36: 147-157. Six species of net-spinning caddisflies (Trichoptera) coexist in the headwater region of the Tallulah River, a rocky, high-gradient tributary of the Savannah River. These caddisflies feed on the suspended organic matter (seston) captured by their nets. We analyzed these species' nets, microhabitat preferences, and monthly abundances. These data, along with the particle size distributions and monthly abundances of seston, were incorporated into a model of seston capture by these net-spinning cad- disflies. The resulting model permitted us to test the hypothesis that differences in capture net mesh sizes serve to partition, by size, the food available to coexisting net-spinning caddisflies. and thus reduce competition between them. The model predicted annual seston capture by the six species of 1300 g AFDW (ash free dry weight), over 1000 times their annual production. The seston captured per longitudinal meter of stream represents 0.005% of the total seston in transport. Resource overlap coefficients indicated that the instars of the five hydropsychid species do not partition the seston by particle size or food type in a manner that reflects competitive interactions. We hypothesize that these filter feeders are limited by the availability of high-quality food items (primarily drifting animals) rather than by the overall seston supply. Species with highly selective feeding habits must filter large volumes of water to permit them to specialize on rare items. High filtration rates require rapid current velocities, large nets, and coarse net meshes. Instars with coarse-meshed nets showed the largest proportionate declines in seston capture rates when the model was simu- lated using the lower current velocity and smaller seston panicles sizes typical for the larger Savannah River.

OIKOS 36:2 (1981) 147 1. Introduction '^"/c-*-,?!:^"'"5-'v7v~'^ -'SKssg The role and importance of filter-feeding organisms in the processing of organic matter in stream ecosystems has attracted increasing interest in the past several years. Most research has involved streams which receive their primary energy inputs as allochthonous paniculate detritus (Minshall 1978). These inputs pass from one functional group to another, often as suspended par- ticulate organic matter (seston). Changes in particle size and food quality occur as the detritus is processed (Boling et al. 1975, Anderson and Sedell 1979). Al- though seston customarily refers to all suspended par- ticulates (Runner 1963), we use the term here in a more restricted sense to refer to the organic fraction only. Webster (Webster 1975, Webster and Patten 1979) introduced the term "spiralling" to describe the role of benthic organisms in retaining organic matter and as- sociated nutrients that would otherwise be carried downstream and lost to that segment of the stream sys- Fig. 1.

    The Distribution and Biology of the A. 15 Oregon Trichoptera PEE .1l(-.", DBR Y w OREGON STATE Technical Bulletin 134 AGRICULTURAL 11 EXPERIMENTI STATION Oregon State University Corvallis, Oregon INovember 1976 FOREWORD There are four major groups of insectswhoseimmature stages are almost all aquatic: the caddisflies (Trichoptera), the dragonflies and damselflies (Odonata), the mayflies (Ephemeroptera), and the stoneflies (Plecoptera). These groups are conspicuous and important elements in most freshwater habitats. There are about 7,000 described species of caddisflies known from the world, and about 1,200 of these are found in America north of Mexico. All play a significant ro'e in various aquatic ecosystems, some as carnivores and others as consumers of plant tissues. The latter group of species is an important converter of plant to animal biomass. Both groups provide food for fish, not only in larval but in pupal and adult stages as well. Experienced fishermen have long imitated these larvae and adults with a wide variety of flies and other artificial lures. It is not surprising, then, that the caddisflies have been studied in detail in many parts of the world, and Oregon, with its wide variety of aquatic habitats, is no exception. Any significant accumulation of these insects, including their various develop- mental stages (egg, larva, pupa, adult) requires the combined efforts of many people. Some collect, some describe new species or various life stages, and others concentrate on studying and describing the habits of one or more species. Gradually, a body of information accumulates about a group of insects for a particular region, but this information is often widely scattered and much effort is required to synthesize and collate the knowledge.

  • Biological Diversity in Headwater Streams
    water Review Biological Diversity in Headwater Streams John S. Richardson Department of Forest and Conservation Sciences, the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z4, Canada; [email protected]; Tel.: +1-604-822-6586 Received: 21 January 2019; Accepted: 19 February 2019; Published: 21 February 2019 Abstract: Headwaters, the sources of all stream networks, provide habitats that are unique from other freshwater environments and are used by a specialised subset of aquatic species. The features of headwaters that provide special habitats include predator-free or competitor-free spaces; specific resources (particularly detrital based); and moderate variations in flows, temperature and discharge. Headwaters provide key habitats for all or some life stages for a large number of species across just about all freshwater phyla and divisions. Some features of headwaters, including isolation and small population sizes, have allowed for the evolutionary radiation of many groups of organisms within and beyond those habitats. As small and easily engineered physical spaces, headwaters are easily degraded by streambank development, ditching and even burial. Headwater streams are among the most sensitive of freshwater ecosystems due to their intimate linkage with their catchments and how easily they are impacted. As a unique ecosystem with many specialist species, headwater streams deserve better stewardship. Keywords: cold stenotherms; detritus; ecological function; lotic; refuge; richness; species radiation 1. Introduction Headwater streams exist in all landscapes as source streams but are variously defined, and a search of the word “headwater” will attest to that. Here, I define headwaters as the first perennially flowing streams in a network, i.e., having no permanent tributaries [1].

The tàunal composition 01' lhe Hydropsychidae (Trichoptera) 01' Pedregulho Stream is presented. Feeding habits of larvae and behavioural aspects of both larvae and adults are described. KEY WORDS. Trichoptera, Hydropsychidae, SlIIicridea, Leplonema, biology, larvae, bel1aviour Biological studies on the Brazilian aquatic insect fauna are stil\ incipient. This is particular\y valid for lhe Trichoplera. Some references on the subject are MÜLLER (1880), SCHUBART (1946), V ANZOUNI (1964), SCHROEDER-ARAUJO & C1POLU (1986), OLIVEIRA (1988, 1991) and NESSIMIAN (1995). A general presentation on lhe Trichoptera col\ected in Córrego do Pe­ dregulho, São Paulo, and a discussion of lhe role of abiotic factors is found in OLIVEIRA & FROEHUCH (in press). ln this paper aspects of the natural history of Hydropsychidae, in particular of lhe genera Smicridea and Leptonema, are pre­ sented. The cosmopolitan Hydropsychidae is one oflhe largest Trichoptera families in running waters (HAUER & STANFORD 1981; DEUTSCH 1984). Most larvae are col leclors-filterers (WIGGINS 1977; MACKA Y 1984); they can be recognized by the numerous abdominal gil\s and by the sclerotized thoracic terga (MERRlTT & CUMMlNS 1979; FLINT 1982; ROLDÁ N 1990). They build fixed tubular retreats with small stones and plant fragments, wilh the opening directed towards the current (WIGGlNS 1977). Smicridea Mclachlan, 1871, is a very common hydropsychid genus and the sole representative of the subfamily Hydropsychinae in South America (FLINT 1974). lt has been the subject oftaxonomic studies in Argentina (FUNT 1980, 1982, 1983), Chile (FLlNT 1989) and Brazil (FUNT 1978, 1983).

Cover image : observed by far, the figure is the outline of a stonefly (Agnetina capitata ), however, by a closer look, it is also a long string of values, representing the codification of the organism traits. The same happens with ecology and ecotoxicology: a holistic, comprehensive view is needed to understand what is the meaning and the overall relevance of any process, but a reductionist approach is often appropriate to get a mechanistic understanding. The challenge proposed by this thesis is to achieve a correct balance between holism and reductionism, finding the right distance to see both the stonefly and the string.
