A guide to the aquatic insects of North America, for students of aquatic entomology and ecology. Contains chapters on morphology, design of insect studies, habitat, ecology and distribution, and phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary adaptations. The bulk of the book offers keys to various families of insects, illustrated with bandw drawings. This third edition contains generic keys for each order, additional bandw illustrations, and new material on phylogeny, respiration, life history, behavior, and sampling, with a new chapter on the use of aquatic insects in biomonitoring.

This ia a synopsis and review of the major rivers of the world.
Hardbound. This volume is a compilation of data from streams throughout the world using the templet of the River Continuum Concept (RCC) as a model for analysis. Various models have been offered to explain the structure and function of flowing water systems as holistic ecosystems, including the catchment basin in which they are found. The first widely used such model was the RCC, and despite the several modifications and adjustments that have been made to it, it continues to be a most useful model for streams in North America and in Europe. Other useful concepts include Nutrient Spiraling, Stream Patch Dynamics, Hydraulic Stream Ecology, Riparian Influence, and the newly formulated Flood Pulse Concept. Each of these offer useful corollaries to the RCC, and it is highly likely that the integration of tenants of all of these models will contribute to more meaningful generalizations of how flowing water ecosystems function.Each chapter in this book evalua
