| Title | Relationship between habitat dynamics, food availability, and growth patterns of ephemerellid mayflies from western North America |
| Creator | Hawkins, Charles P. |
| Description | I examined whether variation in timing and length of the growth period for 11 species of Ephemerellidae was a function of either microhabitat stability or food availability. My data indicate that the growth patterns of these related species may be broadly constrained by taxonomic affinities. However, the final 90% of growth for each species almost always occurred during periods of maximum stability of preferred habitats. In addition, length of the growth period apparently varied directly with... |
