    RIFFLE INSECT COMMUNITY STRUCTURE IN EIGHT NORTHERN CALIFORNIA STREAMS by Jonathan J. Lee A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts May, 1990 RIFFLE INSECT COMMUNITY STRUCTURE IN EIGHT NORTHERN CALIFORNIA STREAMS by Jonathan Lee We certify that we have read this study and that it conforms to acceptable standards of scholarly presentation and is fully acceptable, in scope and quality, as a thesis for the degree of Master of Arts. Major Professor Approved by the Graduate Dean ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I gratefully thank Dr. David Lauck for his help in the field, in the laboratory and fοr having a bit of patience. I also thank Dr. Richard Hurley (Humboldt State University) and Dr. Ole Saether (University of Bergen) fοr their help in reviewing some of the taxonomic determinations. Also, thanks to my committee members; Drs. Kenneth Lang, David Lauck, Mike Messler and Terry Roelofs for their critical review and constructive suggestions leading towards the completion of this thesis. iii ABSTRACT Riffle sections of eight streams in Northern California were sampled for aquatic insects using a kick net. Eleven chemical and physical stream parameters were measured at each riffle sampled. Biological data was analyzed using Simpsons diversity index and Chandlers Biotic Score index. Calculated values were plotted against measured chemical/physical parameters. The resulting scattergrams were examined for relationships between chemical/physical data and the indices values. No relationships were observed. Biological samples were inspected for trends not apparent in the scattergrams. Insect community structure varied among streams and seasonally within streams.

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.

Ten species of skippers, 27 species of butterflies and 597 species and forms of moths were identified and recorded. Euagrotis forbesi, and Spo­ doptera eridania had not previously been collected in Ohio; and Polia nimbosa and Idia laurenti have been designated as special interest since they are con­ sidered rare Ohio residents.
