Terrestrial Invertebrates: Functional Roles in Ecosystems and Utility as Vital Signs in the Sierra Nevada
Holmquist JG. 2004. Terrestrial Invertebrates: Functional Roles in Ecosystems and Utility as Vital Signs in the Sierra Nevada. Bishop, CA
This report describes some of the ecosystem roles, utility as vital signs, and functional responses of invertebrates. Some sections will emphasize our research group's current efforts, in part because relatively little is known about some invertebrate processes in the Sierra and other alpine meadow systems.
