It is a common belief that mountain streams are richer in oxygen than lowland streams and,
as a result, macroinvertebrates inhabiting streams at high altitudes are thought to have …

The solubility of oxygen in water increases with decreasing temperature. This has led to a
general perception of cold, high mountain streams as more oxygen rich than warmer …

Field studies of respiration in stream insects are few in comparison with laboratory studies.
To evaluate the influence of temperature and oxygen along altitudinal gradients we …

Previous studies support the hypothesis that large numbers of infaunal burrow-irrigating
organisms in the western basin of Lake Erie may increase significantly the sediment oxygen …

A year-round study was conducted to examine feeding habits and food resources of the filter-
feeding Trichoptera Arctopsyche grandis and Brachycentrus occidentalis along a regulated …

Benthic algae are an important component of the diet of an abundant grazing insect, larval
Neophylax aniqua (Trichoptera), in Bear Brook, New Hampshire, even though algal …

The effect of organic pollution on macroinvertebrate commumtIes was studied in five small
streams located at 2600 to 3100 meters above sea level in the Andes of Ecuador. Sampling …

Burrowing and ventilation activities of benthic invertebrates can influence water column
turbidity, nutrient concentrations, and possibly oxygen balance of lakewide ecosystems. In …

A year-round study was conducted in the Colorado River, USA, to examine
microdistributions and feeding habits of the filter-feeding Trichoptera (caddisflies) …

We measured respiration of the larvae of aquatic insects from streams in the Ecuadorian
Andes in relation to oxygen saturation at 5, 8, 11, 14 and 17° C. Polycentropus …
