9780801496882: Freshwater Macroinvertebrates of Northeastern North America

Synopsis

A guide to the identification of insects and other macroinvertebrates found in bodies of freshwater in northeastern North America. Essentially a collection of regional taxonomic keys, it covers the aquatic and semiaquatic life stages of insects as well as freshwater crustaceans, mites, mollusks, oligochaetes, and leeches. Each chapter begins with a brief natural history of the taxon and a discussion of collection and preservation techniques. Following is a checklist of the families and genera, or in the noninsect chapters higher taxa, of the animals included in the key. Most of the chapter is devoted to the key: a series of concise couplets, well illustrated with many diagnostic drawings. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
