Book Macroinvertebrate and Habitat Associations in a Rehabilitated Illinois River Floodplain

Download or read book Macroinvertebrate and Habitat Associations in a Rehabilitated Illinois River Floodplain written by Darin Paul Grulkowski and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthropogenic impacts have degraded the function of many large river-floodplain ecosystems. Habitat rehabilitation/management, in the form of water level management, often emphasize the promotion of wetland vegetation. Wetland management is believed to enhance macroinvertebrate populations. To test this assumption, I evaluated macroinvertebrate response to habitat rehabilitation, habitat type, and vegetation density in Swan Lake, an Illinois River floodplain lake located in Calhoun County, Illinois. Results indicated wetland rehabilitation generally enhanced macroinvertebrate availability for spring migrating waterfowl. Results comparing habitats available at Swan Lake indicated moist soil habitats provided greater abundance and biomass of water column macroinvertebrates in the fall season, while spring was more variable. In addition, benthic macroinvertebrate communities indicated inconsistent differences between habitat types. Fall estimates indicated inundation can be an effective mechanism for controlling the timing of water column macroinvertebrate colonization. Vegetation manipulations did not consistently impact macroinvertebrate taxonomic and functional groups, but results indicated some specific taxonomic groups were influenced by vegetation presence/absence and were correlated (positively or negatively) with coarse organic matter. This research supported the principle that management of habitat and hydrologic regime can be effective tools for improving macroinvertebrate populations in order to optimize nutritional resources for waterfowl.

Book Response of Cavity nesting Birds to Aquatic Macroinvertebrate Availability in the Cache River Watershed Southern Illinois

Download or read book Response of Cavity nesting Birds to Aquatic Macroinvertebrate Availability in the Cache River Watershed Southern Illinois written by Douglas Richard McClain and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Macroinvertebrates are an essential component of aquatic food webs, with some taxa having an influence on terrestrial environments as well. Because macroinvertebrates are often the link among trophic levels in aquatic systems, they can be affected by abiotic components in the environment and can subsequently affect higher trophic levels that depend on invertebrates as a food source. I examined the influence of aquatic macroinvertebrates in the Cache River watershed on the nesting distribution and clutch sizes of wood ducks, Aix sponsa, and Carolina wrens, Thryothorus ludovicianus. I sampled aquatic macroinvertebrates with two sampling methods to examine both their density and diversity. Furthermore, I installed and checked artificial nest boxes for wood duck and Carolina wren nests, taking their location and clutch size into account, to determine if either metric was influenced by food availability. Aquatic macroinvertebrate density was significantly different by wetland site, with the Lower Cache River Access having lower densities than the other sites. For both taxa richness and Shannon diversity, there was a significant interaction between site and sampling method, but neither main effect was significant. Both main effects (site and method) were significant for Shannon evenness, but the interaction was not significant. Furthermore, Naucoridae, Oligochaeta, Pleidae, and Copepoda were the taxa that most characterized the invertebrate communities and accounted for much of the dissimilarity among the communities as well. I found no evidence that nest density or clutch size varied among sites, for either wood ducks or Carolina wrens, even though macroinvertebrate biomass was significantly lower in the Lower Cache River Access site. A number of factors may explain why I did not observe the predicted variation, including, 1) birds were obtaining nutrients outside of the study area, 2) differences in invertebrate biomass were not adequate to produce a change in bird behavior, or 3) predator abundance was used as a more influential cue in nest site selection.
