Biodiversity Data Journal 3: e4300. doi: 10.3897/BDJ.3.e4300 Abstract The National Wildlife Refuge system is a vital resource for the protection and conservation of biodiversity and biological integrity in the United States. Surveys were conducted to determine the spatial and temporal patterns of fish, macroinvertebrate, and crayfish populations in two watersheds that encompass three refuges in southern Indiana. The Patoka River National Wildlife Refuge had the highest number of aquatic species with 355 macroinvertebrate taxa, six crayfish species, and 82 fish species, while the Big Oaks National Wildlife Refuge had 163 macroinvertebrate taxa, seven crayfish species, and 37 fish species. The Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge had the lowest diversity of macroinvertebrates with 96 taxa and six crayfish species, while possessing the second highest fish species richness with 51 species.

SGMA seeks to achieve sustainability, which is defined as the absence of several undesirable results, including “depletions of interconnected surface water that have significant and unreasonable adverse impacts on beneficial users of surface water” (Water Code §10721). The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is a science-based, nonprofit organization with a mission to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends. Like humans, plants and animals often rely on groundwater for survival, which is why TNC helped develop, and is now helping to implement, SGMA. Earlier this year, we launched the Groundwater Resource Hub, which is an online resource intended to help make it easier and cheaper to address environmental requirements under SGMA. As a first step in addressing when depletions might have an adverse impact, The Nature Conservancy recommends identifying the beneficial users of surface water, which include environmental users. This is a critical step, as it is impossible to define “significant and unreasonable adverse impacts” without knowing what is being impacted. To make this easy, we are providing this letter and the accompanying documents as the best available science on the freshwater species within the boundary of your groundwater sustainability agency (GSA).

    Habitat Type and Permanence Determine Local Aquatic Invertebrate Community Structure in the Madrean Sky Islands Michael T. Bogan Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon Oscar Gutierrez-Ruacho and J. Andrés Alvarado-Castro, CESUES, Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico David A. Lytle Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon Abstract—Aquatic environments in the Madrean Sky Islands (MSI) consist of a matrix of perennial and intermittent stream segments, seasonal ponds, and human-built cattle trough habitats that support a di- verse suite of aquatic macroinvertebrates. Although environmental conditions and aquatic communities are generally distinct in lotic and lentic habitats, MSI streams are characterized by isolated perennial pools for much of the year, and thus seasonally occur as lentic environments. In this study, we compared habitat characteristics and Coleoptera and Hemiptera assemblages of stream pools with those of true lentic habi- tats (seasonal ponds and cattle troughs) across the MSI. We identified 150 species across the 38 sites, and despite superficial similarities in habitat characteristics, seasonal ponds and stream pools in the MSI support distinct aquatic insect communities. Stream-exclusive species included many long-lived species with poor dispersal abilities, while pond-exclusive species tended to have rapid development times and strong dispersal abilities. We suggest that, in addition to perennial streams, seasonal aquatic habitats should also be a focus of conservation planning in the MSI. Introduction streams are found in the higher elevations (1200-2200 m) of most MSI mountain ranges. While wet winters and monsoon rains can Abiotic factors can be highly influential in determining local aquatic result in high-flow periods where stream pools are scoured and con- invertebrate community structure, including presence or absence of nected to one another, many MSI streams have low to zero flow for flowing water (lotic vs.

JAQUES The Hydrophilidae, or water scavenger beetles, received their name from the genus Hydrophilus, a word of Greek origin mean­ ing, "a lover of water." They are usually found in ponds and streams. Several genera are, however, terrestrial in habit, living in moist earth and in the dung of cattle and horses, where they are said to feed upon the larvae of dipterous insects. The family con­ sists of some 1,700 species, mostly tropical, but well represented in the temperate regions.

Larval morphology and head chaetotaxy are described for two genera of the tribe Berosini, Berosus Leach, 1817 and Regimbartia Zaitzev, 1908, based on reared and fi eld-collected larvae of Berosus (Berosus) japonicus Sharp, 1873 and Regimbartia attenuata (Fabricius, 1801). We describe and illustrate the general morphology and head chaetotaxy of all three instars of both species. We review and discuss an ecological character, which is an adaptation to benthic lifestyle in Berosus. Berosus larvae do not have air-bubbles in alimentary canal, whereas majority of hydrophilid larvae have air-bubbles. Absence of the bubbles results in loss of buoyancy and would be an adaptation in two different ecological trends: benthic and swimming lifestyles. A detailed comparison of head chaetotaxy of both genera is provided. Chaetotaxy of Berosus and Regimbartia are not largely different, therefore benthic lifestyle will not strongly affect chaetotaxy. We also provide information of knowledge about immature stages of the tribe Berosini and provide the identifi cation key to larvae of all fi ve genera of the tribe.
