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, ... -
Cyclic Colonization in Predictably Ephemeral Habitats: A Template for Biological Control in Annual Crop Systems
(Elsevier, 1997-09)Biological control strategies that were developed for orchards and forests have had limited success in controling pests in annual crop systems (ACSs). In this paper I will argue that an accurate characterization of the ... -
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 ... -
Larval cannibalism, time constraints, and adult fitness in caddisflies that inhabit temporary wetlands
(Springer-Verlag, 2003-10-03)The fitness of non-feeding adult insects depends on energy accumulated during the larval stage. Larvae of the caddisfly Asynarchus nigriculus primarily feed on plant detritus, but supplement their diet with animal material ... -
The use of aquatic plants by populations of the zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) (Bivalvia: Dreissenidae) in a small glacial lake
(Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum, 2010)We examined the early life history of the zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) in a small Pennsylvania lake with limited natural hard substrate. Veligers first appear in May, and settled on Nuphar (Yellow Water Lily) stems ...
