Effects of canopy, substrate composition, and gradient on the structure of macro-invertebrate communities in Cascade Range streams of Oregon |
| Creator | Hawkins, Charles P. Murphy, M. L. Anderson, N. H. |
| Description | The relative importance of surrounding riparian vegetation and substrate composition on invertebrate community structure was investigated in six streams in Oregon, USA. We found that canopy type was more important than substrate character in influencing total abundance and guild structure. Streams without shading had higher abundances of invertebrates than did shaded streams. Most guilds were influenced by qualitative differences in food availability rather than quantity of food or substrate... |
