Dietary variation and food selection by mayfly grazers in a subtropical mountain stream

Abstract: Background: The classification of functional feeding groups of aquatic insects is often misleading in tropical/ subtropical streams because their feeding habits are assumed to be the same as their temperate counterparts according to the mouthpart structure and foraging behavior. This study aimed to examine the diets and preferences of mayfly grazers (Baetis spp. and Rhithrogena ampla) in a subtropical mountain stream in the dry and wet seasons. Results: In the stream, epilithic algal communities on insect-excl… Show more

“…Based on the critical relationship between spatial movement, community and density of fish, and changes in aquatic habitats, typhoons by no means have a negligible impact on habitat elements and marine organisms within the fishery. Until now, studies have examined changes in fish biomass density and species richness in the outer sea [24], nearshore waters (estuaries, bays, coral reef areas) [17,19,20], and their inland watersheds [25] after typhoons.…”
