 | | Aquatic insect larvae are commonly used as bioindicators in stream ecosystems (Plafkin et al, 1989; Ohio EPA, 1988), we propose to extend the use of insects as bioindicators to wetlands. |
 | | Since caddisfly larvae occur in a wide variety of aquatic habitats: ponds, lakes, streams and in saturated soils (Borror et al., 1964), and belong to several different trophic categories: predators, scraper, shredders, collectors, piercers, etc. (Merritt and Cummins, 1984), caddisflies may be useful as bioindicators. |
