Micro-habitat use and seasonality of caddisfly larvae (Trichoptera) in two streams in eastern Cuba [PDF]
ZooKeysFour microhabitats within pools (cobbles, sand, leaf litter, and bank vegetation) and one microhabitat in riffles (cobbles) were sampled in both rainy and dry seasons to identify groups of caddisfly species that share larval microhabitats across 15 sites

Gut microbiome composition of Trichoptera larvae across functional feeding groups: a case study from the Provo River, Utah, USA [PDF]
ZooKeysDiet is known to be a major factor in the gut microbiome of many groups of insects. Larvae from the insect order Trichoptera have varied feeding behaviors, encompassing all functional feeding groups, making them an excellent group for studying the links ...
