Apresentação O presente trabalho traz informações a respeito dos animais invertebrados, com destaque para aqueles que habitam o ambiente cavernícola. Sem qualquer pretensão de esgotar um assunto tão vasto, um dos objetivos principais deste guia básico de identificação é apresentar e caracterizar esse grande grupo taxonômico de maneira didática e objetiva. Este guia de identificação foi elaborado para auxiliar os técnicos e profissionais de várias áreas de conhecimento nos trabalhos de campo e nas vistorias técnicas realizadas pelo Ibama. É preciso esclarecer que este guia não pretende formar “especialista”, mesmo porque para tanto seriam necessários muitos anos de dedicação e aprendizado contínuo. Longe desse intuito, pretende- se apenas que este trabalho sirva para despertar o interesse quanto à conservação dos invertebrados de cavernas (meio hipógeo) e também daqueles que vivem no ambiente externo (meio epígeo). -
Morphometries of Two Californian Populations of Gumaga Nigricula (Mclachlan 1871) (Trichoptera: Sericostomatidae)12
Morphometries of two Californian populations of Gumaga nigricula (McLachlan 1871) (Trichoptera: Sericostomatidae)12 Jorge A. Santiago-Blay3 J. Agrie, Univ. RR. 80(3):157-167 (1996) ABSTRACT Eighty Gumaga nigricula larvae from Hopland Spring and Big Sulphur Creek, northern California, USA, were studied to quantify possible dissimi larities among them. The populations are statistically different in two meris- tic characters: number of setae on the anterior margin of the pronotum and number of pleural sclerites on abdominal segment VIII. They also appear to be different in a continuous character, head width/length ratio. In all cases, specimens from Big Sulphur Creek have statistically significant higher val ues. These data are congruent with the hypothesis that there is biologically significant genetic isolation between these populations.

Studies of Neotropical Caddisflies, XLV: The Taxonomy, Phenology, and Faunistics of the Trichoptera of Antioquia, Colombia OLIVER S. FLINT, JR. I SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 520 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Folklife Studies Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the worid. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review. -

DISTRIBUTION: MoDNR Intranet ESP SOP Coordinator RECERTIFICATION RECORD: Date Reviewed Initials Page 1 of 30 MDNR-WQMS-209 Effective Date: 05/31/05 Page 2 of 30 1.0 GENERAL OVERVIEW 1.1 This Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is designed to be used as a reference by biologists who analyze aquatic macroinvertebrate samples from Missouri. Its purpose is to establish consistent levels of taxonomic resolution among agency, academic and other biologists. The information in this SOP has been established by researching current taxonomic literature. It should assist an experienced aquatic biologist to identify organisms from aquatic surveys to a consistent and reliable level. The criteria used to set the level of taxonomy beyond the genus level are the systematic treatment of the genus by a professional taxonomist and the availability of a published key. 1.2 The consistency in macroinvertebrate identification allowed by this document is important regardless of whether one person is conducting an aquatic survey over a period of time or multiple investigators wish to compare results. It is especially important to provide guidance on the level of taxonomic identification when calculating metrics that depend upon the number of taxa. -

They are distributed unevenly; with the greatest number and density occurring in the Oriental Biogeographic Region and the smallest in the East Palearctic. Ecosystem services provided by Trichoptera are also very diverse and include their essential roles in food webs, in biological monitoring of water quality, as food for fish and other predators (many of which are of human concern), and as engineers that stabilize gravel bed sediment. They are especially important in capturing and using a wide variety of nutrients in many forms, transforming them for use by other organisms in freshwaters and surrounding riparian areas. -

[email protected]; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5684-0899 ABSTRACT A phylogenetic review of the three species groups of the caddisfly genus Phylocentropus Banks, proposed by Ross (1965), is provided. The Phylocentropus auriceps Species Group contains 9 species: †P. antiquus, P. auriceps, †P. cretaceous, †P. gelhausi, †P. ligulatus, †P. simplex, †P. spiniger, †P. succinolebanensis, and †P. swolenskyi,; the P. placidus Species Group, 4 species: P. carolinus, P. harrisi, P. lucidus, and P. placidus; and the P. orientalis Species Group, 7 species: P. anas, P. narumonae, P. ngoclinh, P. orientalis, P. shigae, P. tohoku, and P. vietnamellus. A hypothetical phylogenetic tree of the genus is presented along with its historic biogeography. Keywords: Trichoptera, Dipseudopsidae, Phylocentropus, amber, systematics, phylogeny, biogeography, Cretaceous, Eocene Ross (1965) proposed three species groups for the genus Phylocentropus which at the time contained 10 spe- cies: 6 extant species (4 from eastern North America and 2 from eastern Asia) and 4 extinct species from Baltic amber. Since then 10 additional species of Phylocentropus have been discovered: 6 extant species (1 from southeastern North America and 5 from Southeast Asia) and 4 fossil species from New Jersey and Lebanese amber. -

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).
