| Description | Juga silicula (Gould) is an omnivorous pleurocerid snail that inhabits many streams in NW USA. In some streams it comprises over 90% of invertebrate standing crop bio-mass. Analysis of benthic samples from 20 stream reaches showed that densities of many invertebrate taxa were inversely correlated with snail density. Experimental reduction of snail density resulted in higher algal standing crops and higher densities of many although not all invertebrate taxa. The taxa most strongly affected by... |
