Observations On The Life Cycles Of Hydropsyche Bifida Banks And Hydropsyche Morosa Hagen (Trichoptera: Hydropsychidae), Neal J. Voelz
Culminating Projects in Biology
Two different laboratory streams were.used to examine the life cycles of Hydropsyche bifida and H. morosa (Trichoptera:Hydropsychidae). Effectiveness of the artificial streams was determined. Hydropsyche bifida and H. morosa were shown to be useful bioassay organisms. Variations of the species-specific larval head patterns were drawn for both H. oifida and H. morosa.
Field studies were used to determine niche·separations for H. bifida and H. morosa in riffle areas of the Sauk River, St. Cloud, Minnesota. Physical-spatial factors such as retreat material, substrate preference, area of riffle and location on substrate were used to evaluate thi's separation. Eggs found in the …
