Seasonal Changes of Benthic Macroinvertebrate Functional Feeding Group Biomass Within Forest and Meadow Habitats of a First-order Michigan (USA) Stream

نویسندگان

چکیده

Little is known about seasonal changes in stream benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages. We determined the ash-free dry mass of macroinvertebrates within a forested and meadow reach Fairbanks Creek northern Lower Michigan throughout all seasons 2018 2019. The assemblage was dominated by invertebrates shredder functional feeding group (FFG), whereas composed primarily scrapers filtering collectors. Regardless reach, biomass FFGs low during winter early spring, peaked May or June, gradually declined summer fall. General trends were same for both years study, although had overall higher despite being slightly cooler year.

Estimates of Macroinvertebrate Biomass in Lake Michigan

To obtain updated, more accurate estimates of macroinvertebrate standing stocks in Lake Michigan, benthic biomass (ash-free dry weight) was determined at 40 stations in the southern end of the lake in 1980 and 1981. Biomass generally increased as sampling depth increased from 16 to 30 m, peaked at depths of 30-40 m, and then declined at depths greater than 40 m. Mean total biomass at the 16-30 ...

Anthropogenic impact on water chemistry and benthic macroinvertebrate associated changes in a southern Nigeria stream.

The Ogba River in southern Nigeria is an important water resource for its riparian communities. This study evaluates impact of anthropogenic influences on the Ogba River using water chemistry and macroinvertebrate data sets obtained over a period of 6 months between January and June 2012. Four stations, stations 1-4, characterised by various human activities were chosen along the river. Organic...

Seasonal feeding ecology of ring-tailed lemurs: a comparison of spiny and gallery forest habitats.

Although Lemur catta persists in many habitat types in southern Madagascar, its ecology has been primarily studied within gallery forests. We compare plant food selection and properties for ring-tailed lemurs in the spiny and gallery forests over the synchronized lactation period (September to March) that includes both the dry and wet seasons. We found no significant habitat-specific difference...
