Environmental heterogeneity at different scales: key factors affecting caddisfly larvae assemblages in standing waters within a lowland river catchment

Journal of Limnology, 2016
We examined the importance of environmental parameters at different spatial scales influencing the occurrence of caddisfly larvae at different levels of their organization (species, faunistic metrics and functional groups) in lentic floodplain waters, in

Genomics of Caddisfly (Insecta: Trichoptera) Species Associated With Terrestrial Habitats. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Species of Limnephilidae (tube case making caddisflies (Trichoptera)) occur across a wide range of habitats, from cold headwater streams to stagnant pools to even terrestrial environments. We present high‐quality genome assemblies and annotations from two species that are associated with terrestrial environments: Enoicyla pusilla (Burmeister, 1839) and

Caddisfly (Trichoptera, Insecta) fauna and assemblages of the north-eastern part of the Pannonian Lowland (West Ukraine, Transcarpathia) [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal, 2022
The caddisfly fauna of the Transcarpathian part of the Pannonian Lowland was poorly studied formerly. Here, we present the results of a six-year survey (2015-2020) carried out in four sampling sites of the Ukrainian part of the Bereg Plain and provide ...

Using the larvae of caddisfly as a biomonitor to assess the spatial distribution and effective half-life of radiocesium in riverine environments in Fukushima, Japan

Physics Open, 2021
The environmental monitoring survey using this organisms was called “Caddisfly Watch” and this activity has involved both scientists and local people for collecting them.A simple method is needed for the continuous monitoring of radiocesium (137Cs ...

Characterization of the primary structure of the major silk gene, h-fibroin, across caddisfly (Trichoptera) suborders

iScience, 2023
Summary Larvae of caddisflies (Trichoptera) produce silk to build various underwater structures allowing them to exploit a wide range of aquatic environments. The silk adheres to various substrates underwater and has high tensile strength, extensibility,

Connected headwaters: Indelible field evidence of dispersal by a diverse caddisfly assemblage up stream valleys to dry catchment boundaries

Freshwater Biology, 2023
1. Integral to many ecological models is the notion that dispersal connects populations and communities in disparate locations. For stream insects, however, there is very little empirical information about which species and what proportion of the species

Long-read HiFi sequencing correctly assembles repetitive heavy fibroin silk genes in new moth and caddisfly genomes

bioRxiv, 2022
Insect silk is an incredibly versatile biomaterial. Lepidoptera and their sister lineage, Trichoptera, display some of the most diverse uses of silk with varying strength, adhesive qualities and elastic properties.

Caddisfly Larvae are a Driver of Plastic Litter Breakdown and Microplastic Formation in Freshwater Environments

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2022
Plastic litter is now pervasive in the aquatic environment. Several marine and terrestrial organisms can fragment plastic with their feeding appendages, facilitating its breakdown and generating microplastics.
