Describing benthic invertebrate communities in Japanese rivers using national environmental census data: spatial distributions of total biomass and major taxa

A comparison of freeze‐drying and oven‐drying preparation methods for bulk and compound‐specific carbon stable isotope analyses: examples using the benthic macroinvertebrates Stenopsyche marmorata and Epeorus latifolium

“…S. marmorata is a large filter feeder that digests particulate organic matter, while E. latifolium is a grazer and feeds on periphyton on the riverbed . S. marmorata and E. latifolium are common species that are broadly distributed throughout Japan . The collected organisms were stored on ice during transportation to the laboratory and then immediately prepared for analysis.…”
