The process of macroinvertebrate drift in streams is characterized by dislodgement, distance and subsequent return to the bottom. While dislodgement well studied, fate drifting organisms poorly understood, especially concerning Trichoptera. Therefore, aim present study was determine ability six case-building Trichoptera species stream bottom under different flow velocity conditions a laboratory flume. selected occur North-West European sandy lowland along gradient from lentic lotic...
In hydromorphologically-degraded lowland streams, large-wood reintroductions are often used to re-establish instream physical structure, which might also increase biodiversity. However, the success rate of this approach varies in terms positive macroinvertebrate assemblage responses. To obtain better insight into macroinvertebrate–wood relationships, we studied composition and its associated ecological functional traits 3 streams The Netherlands where wood was reintroduced. We a before–after...
Abstract Leaves are the major component of terrestrial litter input into aquatic systems. distributed by flow, accumulate in low flow areas, and form patches. In natural streams, stable leaf patches around complex structures, such as large woody debris. Until now, little is known about conditions under which persist. This study aims to quantify for entrainment We hypothesize that entraining processes, turbulence, Reynolds stress, or lift forcing (vertical velocity), best explain local...
The process of macroinvertebrate drift in freshwater lowland streams is characterized by dislodgement, distance and subsequent return to the bottom. Refuges are important all phases, since they may help larvae avoid dislodgement escape from drift, even more so if refuge structure complex heterogeneous. aim present study was therefore determine influence heterogeneity on ability caddisfly bottom secondary dislodgement. To this purpose a series indoor flume experiments were undertaken, testing...
