Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A survey of macroinvertebrates and their habitat was conducted in Luxapalila Creek soon after completion of flood control measures in the lower reach near Columbus, MS, 1998-2000. The results of this study were compared with a similar preconstruction survey conducted in 1987-1989. There was no evidence of adverse effects of construction on the benthic macroinvertebrate community. Recently channelized, unchannelized, and historically channelized portions of the stream differed somewhat in geomorphological (e.g., stream width) and other physical habitat characteristics (e.g., canopy coverage). However, at all sites macroinvertebrate community composition was marked by similarity, both fluictionally and structurally. Substrattmi and water quality conditions were also similar throughout the stream. Density of macroinvertebrates was greatest in the recently channelized downstream reach. Collector-filterers (mostly the Asian clarn, Corbiculafluminea) were least abundant in the upstream reach that was channelized 80 years ago. It is likely that these patterns reflect quantitative trophic difference along an upstream to downstream gradient usual for streams of this size. Short-lived, small invertebrates such as midges and worms (chironomids, oligochaetes, and nematodes) numerically dominated the fauna. Drift of the wonns and aquatic stages of midges, combined with aerial dispersal of adult midges, contributes to the rapid colonization ability and uniformity of community composition of the macroinvertebrate community that characterizes Luxapalila Creek.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is Report 3 of the EWQOS series 'Aquatic Habitat Studies on the Lower Mississippi River, River Mile 480 to 530.' This is a pilot report on the benthic macroinvertebrate studies. For the purposes of this study, sampling was conducted along a 50-mile reach of the Lower Mississippi River. A habitat approach was taken wherein nine habitat types were selected for study. From these nine aquatic habitats, a total of 20,562 organisms, representing 72 distinct taxa, 17 orders, and 5 classes of benthic macroinvertebrates were collected. Dike structures were the most productive habitat (563.4 organisms/rock sample). Abandoned channels were the second most productive habitat (70.04 organisms/0.05 sq. m.). Natural banks were the next most productive habitat (9.4 organisms/0.05 sq. m.).
