Efforts to protect the environment re uire a focus that recognizes the interplay bqitween the components of our hysical environmwt air, water, and land. The National Environmentalesearch centers pvide this multidisciplinary focus through programs engaged in studies on the effects of envirdiimental contaminants on man and t bibsphere, and' . da search for w4ys to prevent contamination and to recyclevaluable . resources. This manual was within the National Environmental Research Center Cincinnati to provide pollution biologists with the most ,recOtt 'methods for measuring the effects of environmental contaminants on fresh-, water and marine organisms in field and laboratory studies which arecarried out to establish water qualiW criteria for the recognized beneficial uses of water and to.monitor surface quality. Andrew W. Breidenbach, Ph.D. Director National Environmental Research Center, Cincinnati, Ohio 1 PREFACE This manual was published under Research Objective AchievementPlan IBA -05AEF, "Methods for Determining Biological Parametersof all Wat rs," as part of the National Analytical MethodS.DevelopmenkResearch Pro am. The manual was prepared largely by a standing committeeof senior Agency biologists organized in 1970 to assist.the Biological Methods Branch in the selectmen of methods for, use inroutine field and laboratorwork in fresh and marine waters arising curing short-term enforcement stud es,'swater quality trend monitoring, effluent testing and research projects. The methods contained in this manual are considered by theommittee to be the best available at this time. The manual will be revisean3 new methods will be recommended as the need arises. The, Committee attempted to avoid duplicating field and labOratory methods already adequately described for Agency use in StandardMethods for the Examination Water and Wastewater, 13th edition, and frequent reference is made to this source throughout the manual.

Christman Committee Chairman: J. Reese Voshell, Jr. Entomology ( ABSTRACT) I studied life history parameters of 5 taxa of aquatic insects in the orders Ephemeroptera and Odonata, successional patterns over 2 years of pond development, and precision of 15 biological metrics ina series of 6 replicate experimental ponds from March 1989 to April 1990. I determined voltinism, emergence patterns, larval growth rates and annual production for Caenis amica (Ephemeroptera: Caenidae), Callibaetis floridanus (Ephemeroptera: Baetidae), Anax junius (Odonata: Aeshnidae), Gomphus exilis (Odonata: Gomphidae), and Enallagma civile (Odonata: Coenagrionidae). Growth rates ranged from 0.011 to 0.025 mg DW/d for Ephemeroptera and from 0.012 to 0.061 mg DW/d for Odonata. Annual production ranged from 5 to 11 mg DW/sampler/yr for Ephemeroptera and from 10 to 673 mg DW/sampler/yr for Odonata. Comparison of the benthic macroinvertebrate community at the end of year 1 to the benthic macroinvertebrate community at the end of year 2 showed no significant differences for community summary measures (total density, taxa richness, diversity, Bray-Curtis similarity index); however, some individual taxa densities were significantly lower at the end of year 2.

  • Aquatic Diptera As Indicators of Pollution in a Midwestern Stream
    AQUATIC DIPTERA AS INDICATORS OF POLLUTION IN A MIDWESTERN STREAM GEORGE H. PAINE, JR. AND ARDEN R. GAUFIN Robert A. Taft Sanitary Engineering Center, Public Health Service, Cincinnati, Ohio A knowledge of the ecological requirements of aquatic organisms, especially the benthic forms, is of outstanding importance to biologists in determining the degree and extent of pollution in streams. An examination of bottom fauna serves to indicate conditions not only at the time of examination but also over considerable periods in the past. Those organisms having an annual life cycle will by their presence or absence indicate any unusual occurrence which took place during several previous months. Satisfactory use of aquatic organisms as indicators of pollution and self-purification of water is dependent upon a know- ledge of the normal habitats of these organisms and their sensitivity to varying environmental factors such as pollution. Among the aquatic invertebrates, insects such as the mayflies, stoneflies, and caddis flies are primarily restricted to clean water conditions. By comparison, forms such as the pulmonate snails, Tubificid worms, and certain species of leeches can more often be found under conditions where high organic and/or low oxygen content exist. Still other groups such as the Diptera, or true flies, are repre- sented by forms which may be found in all types of stream habitats from the cleanest situation to the most polluted water. Because aquatic Diptera are to be found in many different ecological niches in both clean and polluted water and many species are highly selective in their choice of habitat, they constitute one of the most important groups of indicator organisms.

  • Generic Differences Among New World Spongilla-Fly Larvae and a Description of the Female of Climacia Stria Ta (Neuroptera: Sisyridae)*
    GENERIC DIFFERENCES AMONG NEW WORLD SPONGILLA-FLY LARVAE AND A DESCRIPTION OF THE FEMALE OF CLIMACIA STRIA TA (NEUROPTERA: SISYRIDAE)* BY RAYMOND J. PUPEDIS Biological Sciences Group University of Connecticut Storrs, CT 06268 INTRODUCTION While many entomologists are familiar, though probably uncom- fortable, with the knowledge that the Neuroptera contains numer- ous dusty demons within its membership (Wheeler, 1930), few realize that this condition is balanced by the presence of aquatic angels. This rather delightful and appropriate appellation was bestowed on a member of the family Sisyridae by Brown (1950) in a popular account of his discovery of a sisyrid species in Lake Erie. Aside from the promise of possible redemption for some neurop- terists, the spongilla-flies are an interesting study from any view- point. If one excludes, as many do, the Megaloptera from the order Neuroptera, only the family Sisyridae can be said to possess truly aquatic larvae. Despite the reported association of the immature stages of the Osmylidae and Neurorthidae with wet environments, members of those families seem not to be exclusively aquatic; however, much more work remains to be done, especially on the neurorthids. The Polystoechotidae, too, were once considered to have an aquatic larval stage, but little evidence supports this view (Balduf, 1939). Although the problem of evolutionary relationships among the neuropteran families has been studied many times, the phylogenetic position of the Sisyridae remains unclear (Tillyard, 1916; Withy- combe, 1925; Adams, 1958; MacLeod, 1964; Shepard, 1967; and Gaumont, 1976). Until fairly recently, the family was thought to have evolved from an osmylid-like ancestor (Tillyard, 1916; Withy- combe, 1925).

    Fol. Hist.-nat. Mus. Matr., 17: 97-106, 1992 Malacostratigraphical Investigation of the Late Quaternary Subsided Zones of Hungary FŰKÖH Levente ABSTRACT: The author briefly performs the ecelogical, biostratigraphical and malakostratigraphical elaboration of the Mollusc faunae of the most complete sequences and with the knowledge of the results gives the general concludes. During the investigation of the Hungarian Holocene Mollusc-fauna more and more and Important flat-land fauna became known, beside the faunae of the medium high mountain-ranges. The increase of these data enabled to attempt with full knowledge of the facts until now - giving outline history of the succession of the juvenile subsided zones with the help of malacostratigraphy. Because the ecological conditions of the species of our fresh-water fauna is less explored than the ecological conditions of the terrestrial ones,so such detailed analysis cannot be expected than have been made from the medium high mountain territories (FUKÜH, L. 1987). The faunal evolution of these territories (Fig. 1.) is approximately the same, it is why we made attempt to publish the fundamental Informations about courses of development and stratigraphical examinations.

  • Anisus Vorticulus (Troschel 1834) (Gastropoda: Planorbidae) in Northeast Germany
    JOURNAL OF CONCHOLOGY (2013), VOL.41, NO.3 389 SOME ECOLOGICAL PECULIARITIES OF ANISUS VORTICULUS (TROSCHEL 1834) (GASTROPODA: PLANORBIDAE) IN NORTHEAST GERMANY MICHAEL L. ZETTLER Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde, Seestr. 15, D-18119 Rostock, Germany Abstract During the EU Habitats Directive monitoring between 2008 and 2010 the ecological requirements of the gastropod species Anisus vorticulus (Troschel 1834) were investigated in 24 different waterbodies of northeast Germany. 117 sampling units were analyzed quantitatively. 45 of these units contained living individuals of the target species in abundances between 4 and 616 individuals m-2. More than 25.300 living individuals of accompanying freshwater mollusc species and about 9.400 empty shells were counted and determined to the species level. Altogether 47 species were identified. The benefit of enhanced knowledge on the ecological requirements was gained due to the wide range and high number of sampled habitats with both obviously convenient and inconvenient living conditions for A. vorticulus. In northeast Germany the amphibian zones of sheltered mesotrophic lake shores, swampy (lime) fens and peat holes which are sun exposed and have populations of any Chara species belong to the optimal, continuously and densely colonized biotopes. The cluster analysis emphasized that A. vorticulus was associated with a typical species composition, which can be named as “Anisus-vorticulus-community”. In compliance with that both the frequency of combined occurrence of species and their similarity in relative abundance are important. The following species belong to the “Anisus-vorticulus-community” in northeast Germany: Pisidium obtusale, Pisidium milium, Pisidium pseudosphaerium, Bithynia leachii, Stagnicola palustris, Valvata cristata, Bathyomphalus contortus, Bithynia tentaculata, Anisus vortex, Hippeutis complanatus, Gyraulus crista, Physa fontinalis, Segmentina nitida and Anisus vorticulus.

Brigham, Lawrence M. Page, John D. Unzicker Mark J. Wetzel, Warren U. Brigham, Donald W. Webb, and Liane Suloway INTRODUCTION Aquatic macroinvertebrates are primary and secondary level consumers that play an important role in transferring energy through the different trophic levels of the food chains of aquatic ecosystems. These animals feed upon submerged and emergent macrophytes, plankton, and organic material suspended in the water column. Burrowing and feeding activities aid in the decomposition of plant and animal matter and the eventual recycling of nutrients. In addition, these organisms prey upon each other and serve as food for fishes, certain birds, and other animals. In general, aquatic macroinvertebrates have not been systematically surveyed in Illinois, and rarely have individual species been studied ecologically. This is due, in part, to the inconspicuous nature of most freshwater inverte- brates and the many taxonomic problems which preclude distributional, ecologi- cal, and other studies.
