In fact, it has been claimed that 6^. discopterus is solely a species of the east. As the two species are taxonomically difficult to separate, when they were apparently discovered together at several localities in the southwestern Yukon, a detailed investigation of their systematics and distribution seemed necessary.

They have two pairs of antennae and lack a carapace. Their compound eyes are not on stalks. They have 7 pairs of walking legs, one on each segment of the thorax, and short appendages on the abdominal segments. Their gills are located on the thorax. CRAWFISH Arthropoda, Sub-Phylum Crustacea, Class Malacostraca, Order Decapoda Pygmy Crawfish - Cambarellus spp. Size 18 - 25 mm One morph (pattern) shows dark blotches from back of carapace to to tail fin. Second morph shows two dark, parallel stripes from behind the eyes to the pre-fan segment. Both show a slightly bowed, dark stripe that spans the tail from side to side. AQUATIC SOWBUGS (ISOPODS) Arthropoda, Sub-Phylum Crustacea, Class Malacostraca, Order Isopoda Bottom Right: ventral view of sowbug (note that sowbug is missing parts of appendages) Size <15 mm Sowbugs have 7 pairs of long walking legs, one on each segment of the thorax. They have two pairs of antennae with one set much longer than the other. At the end of the abdomen, there are two forked, tail-like appendages. Sowbugs absorb oxygen using gills located on the underside of the abdomen.

  • The Impact of Waterfowl Production Area (WPA) Fish Communities Upon the Invertebrate Food Base of Waterfowl
    The Impact of Waterfowl Production Area (WPA) Fish Communities Upon the Invertebrate Food Base of Waterfowl by P. Kelly McDowell A Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE College of Natural Resources UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN Stevens Point, Wisconsin February, 1989 APPROVED BY THE GRADUATE COMMITTEE OF: Dr. E. Nauman, Committee Chairman Professor of Wildlife Dr. James W. Hardin Professor of Wildlife Dr. Fredrick A. Copes Professor of Fisheries i PREFACE This paper is part of study 316 entitled "Duck and Pheasant Management in the Pothole Region of Wisconsin." Study 316 was initiated in 1982 by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to determine methods of increasing waterfowl and pheasant production on private and public lands. As a part of study 316, 2 experiments were conducted to evaluate impacts of fish communities on waterfowl food resources. A paired pen study was conducted to evaluate impacts of fathead minnows on waterfowl invertebrate foods. Two paired pond experiments were conducted to further evaluate impacts of minnow and other wetland fish species which occur on federal and state Waterfowl. Production Areas. Pen study data are included in the first paper and appendix A. Paired-pond data are included in appendices B-K. ii ACDONLEDGEMENTS This project was multi-disciplinary by design. In the same manner, assistance to complete this project was multi­ disciplinary. I thank my advisor Dr. Lyle E. Nauman and Richard A. Lillie, for help in all stages of this project. Eldon McLaury facilitated and encouraged research in this area. Drs. Fredrick A. Copes and James W.
