Monitoring wilderness stream ecosystems. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-70. Ogden, UT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 137 p. A protocol and methods for monitoring the major physical, chemical, and biological components of stream ecosystems are presented. The monitor- ing protocol is organized into four stages. At stage 1 information is obtained on a basic set of parameters that describe stream ecosystems. Each following stage builds upon stage 1 by increasing the number of parameters and the detail and frequency of the measurements. Stage 4 supplements analyses of stream biotic structure with measurements of stream function: carbon and nutrient processes. Standard methods are presented that were selected or modified through extensive field applica- tion for use in remote settings. Keywords: bioassessment, methods, sampling, macroinvertebrates, production The Authors emphasize aquatic benthic inverte- brates, community dynamics, and Jeffrey C.

In BI and ML phylogenetic trees using 23 species from 13 families, the monophyly ome; phylogeny of the families Caenidae, Heptageniidae, Isonychiidae, and Vietnamellidae was strongly supported.

    Vol. 107, No. 4, September & October, 1996 207 NEW DIAGNOSTIC CHARACTERS FOR THE MAYFLY FAMILY BAETIDAE (EPHEMEROPTERA) 1 2 T.-Q. Wang, W. P. McCafferty ABSTRACT: Two newly discovered universal characteristics are proposed to distinguish larvae of the family Baetidae (Ephemeroptera) from those of all other families of mayflies. These include the orientation of the lateral branches of the epicranial suture anterior of the lateral ocelli, and the ventral orientation of the dorsal lobe at the apices of the femora. Use of these new characters should eliminate the previously necessary use of complex combinations of characters that have been used in keys and that have continued to meet with exceptions. The family Baetidae usually can be distinguished in the larval stage by a combination of general characteristics. These include a streamlined body, hypognathous head, relatively long antennae, antennae originating anteriorly or anterolaterally on the head, long and narrow glossae and paraglossae of the labium, abdominal segments without well-developed posterolateral projections, and in mature male larvae, developing turbinate compound eyes (e.g., Edmunds, etal. 1976). Unfortunately, on a world level, each of these characteristics fails in certain genera of Baetidae, and several of them fail in a few genera. For example, Platybaetis Miiller-Liebenau (1980) has a prognathous head with short antennae originating dorsally (Fig. 5), and a depressed body. Recently, Lugo- Ortiz and McCafferty (1996) described a new genus of Baetidae that, remark- ably, lacks the male turbinate eyes, one characteristic that historically has been considered a unique and consistent characteristic for the family. The turbinate eyes of baetids continue to be regarded as a synapomorphy defining the family phylogenetically, and are regarded to have been secondarily lost in this one particular baetid lineage (Lugo-Ortiz and McCafferty 1996).

  • Life History Aspects of the Mayfly Siphlonurus Typicus

E-mail: [email protected] Received 5 November 2002; in revised form 31 July 2003; accepted 5 August 2003 Key words: mayflies, age classes, growth rates, maturity, swarming, mating behavior Abstract Little is known about the life history of mayflies that inhabit temporary ponds. The purpose of this study was to observe and quantify life histories attributes of Siphlonurus typicus, which is known to reside in temporary ponds. Weekly samples of nymphs were taken from two temporary ponds in eastern Connecticut from March to June, 1999. Individuals were graded into 11 maturity classes, based on developmental characteristics, as a means of predicting population maturity rates. Head capsule widths (HCWs) were used to determine if growth occurred between maturity classes. Degree days were found to be an excellent predictor for population maturity (r2 = 0.963, p<0.0001). Nymphs that hatched earlier in the year had larger HCWs than nymphs that hatched later in the year, possibly because of different temperature regimes. The University of Connecticut Forest pond (UCF) population matured faster than the Merrow Meadows pond (MER) population, but both sexes of the UCF population tended to be smaller than their counter parts from the MER population.

  • Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera) in a Network of Subarctic Lakes and Streams in Quebec

Printedin Belgium. 43 Associations of aquatic insects (Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera) in a network of subarctic lakes and streams in Quebec P. P. Harper Dipartement de sciences biologiques, Universit de Montreal, C. P. 6128, Succ. 'A', Montreal, QC. Canada H3C 3J7 Received 12 September 1988; in revised form 16 June 1989; accepted 5 July 1989 Key words: emergence, species associations, subarctic region, lakes, streams, Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera Abstract As part of an impact assessment of large hydroelectric projects in the James Bay drainage in Northwestern Quebec, the aquatic insect communities were studied in a network of rivers, lakes and streams during the summer of 1975. Thirty-eight emergence traps operated over the ice-free season yielded 10 888 insects (5559 Ephemeroptera, 2817 Plecoptera, and 2512 Trichoptera), representing 148 species (respectively 44, 18, and 86), most of temperate and boreal afinities. There was no arctic element. Similarity analyses and clustering procedures on the emergence series revealed the existence of distinct insect communities in the river (fast and slow sections), the streams (fast and slow), the lakes and the bogs, each characterized by a particular assemblage of species. Many of the species were more or less ubiquitous and differences between communities were marked more by changes in the dominance of the species and differences in the frequency distributions, than absolute shifts in the species lists. The yields in the traps set in fast water were much greater than those in slow running water, and these in turn greater than those of standing water.
