Aquat. Sci. 1720: iii + 42 p. Fifty-seven sites on three Maritime stream systems (Saint Croix, N.B., Medway and Gold, N.S.) were systematically sampled for invertebrates. Approximately 30 and 100 plecopteran and trichopteran taxa, respectively, were identified. Collection of Leuctra truncata, Isoperla holochlora, Culoptila cantha, Hydropsyche betteni, H. scalaris, H. alternans, Hydroptila xoncla (?), H. hamata, Oxyethira grisea, Palaeagapetus celsus, Ceraclea annulicornis (?), C. diluta (?), C. resurgens (?), Oecetis persimilis, Triaenodes injusta, Glossosoma nigrior, Nyctiophylax celta, Rhyacophila carolina, R. manistee, and Brachycentrus numerosus represent probable extension of known ranges for these species. Taxa common to the Saint Croix system but uncommon in the acidic Nova Scotian systems were Phasganophora capitata, Acroneuria spp., Paragnetina media, Agapteus spp., and Hydropsyche morosa. Taxa present in the Saint Croix system but not collected from the Nova Scotian systems included Isoperla holochlora, Paragnetina immarginata, Pteronarcys biloba, Micrasema charonis, Hydropsyche scalaris, H. alhedra, Macrostemum zebratum, and Neophylax fuscus. Perlesta placida was collected more commonly in the Nova Scotian systems. Taxa collected in the Nova Scotian systems but not in the Saint Croix included Ostrocerca albidipennis, Leuctra sibley, and Hydroptila acadia (?). The distributions of the various taxa are discussed in terms of stream acidity and possible geographic influence. RESUME Peterson, R. H., and L. van Eeckhaute. 1990.

  • New State Records of Aquatic Insects for Ohio, U.S.A
    Volume 121, Number 1, January and February 2010 75 NEW STATE RECORDS OF AQUATIC INSECTS FOR OHIO, U.S.A. (EPHEMEROPTERA, PLECOPTERA, TRICHOPTERA, COLEOPTERA)1 Michael J. Bolton2 ABSTRACT: Biomonitoring of Ohio streams by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency has found new state records for the Ephemeroptera (mayflies): Baetis brunneicolor McDunnough, Iswaeon anoka (Daggy), Paracloeodes fleeki McCafferty and Lenat, Plauditus cestus (Provonsha and McCafferty), and Rhithrogena manifesta Eaton; the Plecoptera (stoneflies): Pteronarcys cf. biloba Newman; the Trichop- tera (caddisflies): Brachycentrus numerosus (Say) and Psilotreta rufa (Hagen); and the Coleoptera (bee- tles): Gyretes sinuatus LeConte, Dicranopselaphus variegatus Horn, and Microcylloepus pusillus (Le Conte). Additional records are given for the mayfly Paracloeodes minutus (Daggy). KEY WORDS: Ohio, state record, Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera, Coleoptera The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency conducts biological and water qual- ity studies of Ohio streams to ascertain the condition of the aquatic resource. One component of these studies is an evaluation of the macroinvertebrate communities. As a result of this sampling, species of aquatic insects in the Ephemeroptera (may- flies), Plecoptera (stoneflies), Trichoptera (caddisflies), and Coleoptera (beetles) orders have been collected that have never been reported from Ohio. Randolph and McCafferty (1998) compiled the first state list of mayflies for Ohio. Gaufin (1956) produced a state list of stoneflies for Ohio with additions by Tkac and Foote (1978), Robertson (1979), and Fishbeck (1987). Listing of species distributions by state in Stewart and Stark (2002) and Stark and Armitage (2000, 2004) incorporated Ohio records found in the various revisionary publications. Huryn and Foote (1983) pro- duced the first comprehensive state list of caddisflies which was amended by Mac Lean and MacLean (1984), Usis and MacLean (1986), Garono and MacLean (1988), Usis and Foote (1989), and Keiper and Bartolotta (2003).

  • Life History and Production of Mayflies, Stoneflies, and Caddisflies (Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera) in a Spring-Fe
    Color profile: Generic CMYK printer profile Composite Default screen 1083 Life history and production of mayflies, stoneflies, and caddisflies (Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera) in a spring-fed stream in Prince Edward Island, Canada: evidence for population asynchrony in spring habitats? Michelle Dobrin and Donna J. Giberson Abstract: We examined the life history and production of the Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera (EPT) commu- nity along a 500-m stretch of a hydrologically stable cold springbrook in Prince Edward Island during 1997 and 1998. Six mayfly species (Ephemeroptera), 6 stonefly species (Plecoptera), and 11 caddisfly species (Trichoptera) were collected from benthic and emergence samples from five sites in Balsam Hollow Brook. Eleven species were abundant enough for life-history and production analysis: Baetis tricaudatus, Cinygmula subaequalis, Epeorus (Iron) fragilis,andEpeorus (Iron) pleuralis (Ephemeroptera), Paracapnia angulata, Sweltsa naica, Leuctra ferruginea, Amphinemura nigritta,and Nemoura trispinosa (Plecoptera), and Parapsyche apicalis and Rhyacophila brunnea (Trichoptera). Life-cycle timing of EPT taxa in Balsam Hollow Brook was generally similar to other literature reports, but several species showed extended emergence periods when compared with other studies, suggesting a reduction in synchronization of life-cycle timing, pos- sibly as a result of the thermal patterns in the stream. Total EPT secondary production (June 1997 to May 1998) was 2.74–2.80 g·m–2·year–1 dry mass (size-frequency method). Mayflies were dominant, with a production rate of 2.2 g·m–2·year–1 dry mass, followed by caddisflies at 0.41 g·m–2·year–1 dry mass, and stoneflies at 0.19 g·m–2·year–1 dry mass.

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).
