No Rock Left Unturned: Insect Egg‐Laying Habitat is Limited in Restored Streams

Photo 1: Author Samantha Jordt makes her way upstream, inspecting every emergent rock (i.e., rocks partially extending above the water surface) for insect egg masses before carefully returning each one to stream in its original orientation. credit: Michelle Jewell 2: The underside of few a restored stream, completely covered caddisfly masses. While eggs are highly aggregated, they were laid at different times indicated by variation coloration from light gray/green black. 3: small (~6 cm length) with three (white-colored areas) representing multiple taxa. These photographs illustrate article “A rolling stone gathers no eggs: importance laying natural history restoration” and Brad Taylor published Ecology. https://esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ecy.3331.
