Diversity of Macroinvertebrate Communities Following Abnormal Spring Flooding of Denton Creek, Denton County, Texas
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Lotic systems contain different habitats where macroinvertebrates partition out special niches, such as pools and riffles.Physical examination of the substrate may reveal large cobbles, rocks, pebbles, sand, mud, or a combination of the above [5].Above the substrate, there are macroinvertebrates that make their home among the aquatic plants, in the floating leaf packs, or live in the interface between the water's surface and the air.In riffle and pool habitats, macroinvertebrates have adapted to a particular lifestyle enabling them to live among the varying environmental conditions (Figure 1).
