Tolerance Values and Effects of Selected Environmental Determinants on Caddisfly (Trichoptera) Distribution in Northwest and North Central Washington, USA

Montiphylax, (Trichoptera, Limnephilidae), a new genus to accommodate the western North American species: Stenophylax antennatus Banks, 1900, Philocasca thor Nimmo, 1971, and Philocasca alba Nimmo, 1977

“…It was not until the Blinn and Ruiter (2013) collections of P.antennata from Mt. Baker, Washington, that P.antennata material other than the holotype was located.…”

Ash-free dry mass values for northcentral USA caddisflies (Insecta, Trichoptera)

“…Some challenges to using the immature stage, such as the difficulty of sampling all aquatic microhabitats representatively and identifying specimens to the species level, can be alleviated by using the winged adult stage, particularly that of taxonomically and ecologically diverse groups such as the caddisflies ( Trichoptera ) ( Gerth and Herily 2006 ; Chessman et al 2007 ; Cao and Hawkins 2011 ; Houghton et al 2011 ). Assemblages of caddisfly adults, particularly the relative abundance of specimens within different FFGs , have been shown in several studies to be indicative of stream conditions ( Dohet 2002 ; Houghton 2007 ; Blinn and Ruiter 2013 ; Houghton et al 2018 ). Such studies, however, treated all specimens equally and did not reflect the differences in biomass between different species.…”
