Caddisfly life histories along permanence gradients in high-altitude wetlands in Colorado (U.S.A.)
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2003-01-17)1. Larvae of cased caddisflies (Limnephilidae and Phryganeidae) are among the most abundant and conspicuous invertebrates in northern wetlands. Although species replacements are often observed along permanence gradients, ... -
Effects of drying regime on microbial colonization and shredder preference in seasonal woodland wetlands
(Blackwell, 2008-03)1. Energy budgets of wetlands in temperate deciduous forests are dominated by terrestrially derived leaf litter that decays under different drying conditions depending on autumn precipitation. We compared decay rates and ... -
Effects of larval energetic resources on life history and adult allocation patterns in a caddisfly (Trichoptera: Phryganeidae)
(The Royal Entomological Society, 2007-07-20)1. How populations respond to environmental change depends, in part, on the connection between environmental variance during early life stages and its effect on subsequent life-history traits. For example, environmental ... -
Foraging trade-offs along a predator-permanence gradient in subalpine wetlands
(Ecological Society of America, 1999-09)We conducted a series of field and laboratory experiments to determine the direct and indirect effects of a top predator, the tiger salamander (Ambystoma tigrinum nebulosum), on larvae of two species of limnephilid caddisflies ... -
High interspecific variation in nutrient excretion within a guild of closely related caddisfly species
(Ecological Society of America, 2018-05-21)Understanding the amount of variation in functional traits between closely related species within guilds is critical for understanding links between community composition and ecosystem processes. Nutrient excretion is an ... -
High interspecific variation in nutrient excretion within a guild of closely related caddisfly species
(ESA Journals, 2018-05)Understanding the amount of variation in functional traits between closely related species within guilds is critical for understanding links between community composition and ecosystem processes. Nutrient excretion is an ... -
Reinforcing abiotic and biotic time constraints facilitate the broad distribution of a generalist with fixed traits
(Ecological Society of America, 2009-06-16)Abstract. Many species are habitat specialists along environmental gradients as a result of contrasting selection pressures, but others maintain broad distributions along such gradients. Phenotypic plasticity explains the ... -
The role of larval cases in reducing aggression and cannibalism among caddisflies in temporary wetlands
(Springer-Verlag, 2004-08-04)Larvae of wetland caddisflies supplement their detrital diets with animal material. In some species this supplement is obtained by preying on other caddisflies. In this study, we conducted a series of laboratory experiments ... -
Species-specific traits predict whole-assemblage detritus processing by pond invertebrates
(Springer, 2022-08-18)Functional trait diversity determines if ecosystem processes are sensitive to shifts in species abundances or composition. For example, trait variation suggests detritivores process detritus at different rates and make ... -
