Abstract
ABSTRACT Aquatic macroinvertebrate sampling in Nantucket streams produced a fauna typical of northeastern first-order low-gradient intermittent and perennial streams. Most taxa appear to be stream-specific, and as such would be particularly susceptible to stream disturbances. Abundance is low overall, with a few exceptions. Stream chemistry measurements fall within expected ranges for developed areas. Dissolved oxygen level, discharge and flow regime may be limiting factors in most of the streams.
期刊介绍：
Contributions are accepted on any of the aspects of systematics and taxonomy of insects. This includes: taxonomic revisions, phylogenetics, biogeography and faunistics, and descriptive morphology of insects. Taxonomic papers describing single species are acceptable if such a study is sufficiently justified, however, comprehensive studies that provide a comparative, integrated study of insect systematics and taxonomy will get priority.
