Hamilton, D. S. White, E. W. Chester and M. T. Finley. 1999. Proceedings of the Eighth Symposium on the Natural History of Lower Tennessee and Cumberland River Valleys. The Center for Field Biology, Austin Peay State University, Clarksville, Tennessee. Published December, 1999 ...... PREFACE The EighthSymposium on the Natural History ofLower Tennessee and Cumberland River Valleys was held at Brandon Spring Group Camp in TVA's Land Between The Lakes on March 19 and 20, 1999. This biennial gathering of naturalists and field biologists was sponsored by the Center for Field Biology at Austin Peay State University, the Center for Reservoir Research at Murray State University, and Land Between The Lakes. The symposium began Friday afternoon with welcoming comments from representatives ofsponsoring institutions. Dr. Benjamin P. Stone, Director of the Center for Field Biology at Austin Peay State University, welcomed all participants. Additional comments were offered by Dr. David S. White, Director of the Hancock Biological Station at Murray State University. There were three invited speakers that presented papers addressing the Symposium theme of "Habitat Restoration." The first speaker, Dr. Marjorie M. Holland, Biology Professor and Director of the University of Mississippi's FieldStation at Oxford, Mississippi. Her presentations stressed the progress being made regarding wetlands protection and restoration throughout the mid-south. Excessive erosion and land development have seriously damaged extensive acreages of premium aquatic habitats and watersheds in the Mississippi area. Dr. Kenneth W. Cummins from the South Florida Water Management District, West Palm Beach, Florida, present an impressive overview of the Kissimmee River Restoration Project in the south Florida Everglades. He discussed the goals and objectives of restoring naturalflow regime of natural stream channels ofthe Kissimmee River watersh~d. The final presentation Friday evening was given by Dr. William H. Martin, Professor of Biology at Eastern Kentucky University at Richmond, Kentucky. Dr. Martin discussed issues, values, and management needs required to preserve and enhance biodiversity in Kentucky's forests and other natural areas throughout the southeastern United States. He emphasized that preservation and protection were more practical and economically feasible when compared to restoration. Three sessions of contributed papers were presented Saturday morning. Session I included 12 papers covering subjects concerning Aquatic Biology and Water Quality. This session was moderated by Dr. Steven Hamilton, APSU. Session II was moderated by Dr. Floyd Scott, APSU, and included 12 papers in the area of Zoology. Moderating the 16 papers in Session III in Botany, was Dr. Edward W. Chester, APSU. All contributors were invited to publish an abstract, short communication, or full manuscript in the 1999 proceedings. A total of 127 individuals representing 27 institutions registered at this symposium. The style and format of these proceedings follow that established in previous proceedings of these symposia. Drs. White, Hamilton, and Finley organized and edited the Invited Papers; Dr. Hamilton edited abstracts and papers from Sessions I and II; and Dr. Chester edited abstracts and papers from Session III. Drs. Hamilton and Chester brought all these papers together into the final format. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The editors thank Ms. Marilyn Griffy for her assistance in organizing and coordinating activities leading up to and throughout the symposium. We also recognize the participation of many APSU Center for Field Biology undergraduate and graduate research assistants for their help before and during this biennial event. Many abstracts and manuscripts were typed and corrected by Ms. Griffy, who also saw to many details of the proceedings organization. Ms. Laurina Lyle provided assistance with the proceedings cover and photographs. The help of these individuals and others forgotten was critical to the success of this symposium and completion of these proceedings. All complete manuscripts were reviewed fully. We appreciate the comments of all reviewers as this process greatly enhances the quality of these proceedings. While we (the editors) would wish this publication to be error free, most likely it is not and for this we assume responsibility. ii SYMPOSIUM REGISTRANTS Following, in alphabetical order, is a list of those individuals who registered at the 1999 symposium.

Biodiversity Data Journal 3: e4300. doi: 10.3897/BDJ.3.e4300 Abstract The National Wildlife Refuge system is a vital resource for the protection and conservation of biodiversity and biological integrity in the United States. Surveys were conducted to determine the spatial and temporal patterns of fish, macroinvertebrate, and crayfish populations in two watersheds that encompass three refuges in southern Indiana. The Patoka River National Wildlife Refuge had the highest number of aquatic species with 355 macroinvertebrate taxa, six crayfish species, and 82 fish species, while the Big Oaks National Wildlife Refuge had 163 macroinvertebrate taxa, seven crayfish species, and 37 fish species. The Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge had the lowest diversity of macroinvertebrates with 96 taxa and six crayfish species, while possessing the second highest fish species richness with 51 species.

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.

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).

Procedures for storing reference specimens are also described. I. Preparing the Sample for Processing Processing procedures apply to all benthic samples. This is an important and time-consuming step. Particular care should be taken to ensure that samples are being processed thoroughly and efficiently. The purpose of sorting is to remove invertebrates from other material in the sample. Procedure: A. Sample processing begins by pouring the original field sample into a USGS standard sieve (500-µm) placed in a catch pan. The preservative that is drained from the sample should be placed back in the original sample container for eventual rehydration of remaining sample debris that is not sorted during the subsample procedure described below. B. Rinse the sample contents in the sieve with tap water to flush the residual preservative. Large debris material (>2 cm; i.e. leaves, sticks, rocks) should be removed by hand and rinsed into the sieve.
