The Phenology of Macroinvertebrate Communities in Ephemeral Wetlands and the Effects of Ambystoma spp. Larval Predation in Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area

Hart T. 2004. The Phenology of Macroinvertebrate Communities in Ephemeral Wetlands and the Effects of Ambystoma spp. Larval Predation in Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area

This study had two goals: (1) Describe the macroinvertebrate populations of four different ephemeral ponds, and their “phenology” (how they develop and change over time), from March through June, 2004. (2) Informally assess the relative importance of (a) hydroperiod, (b) presence or absence of ambystomid salamander larvae, and (c) forest or non-forest setting, in determining the types of macroinvertebrates present in the ponds, and their phenology.
