Do Installed Steam Logjams Increase Macroinvertebrate Richness and Abundance?
Kim, Seyeon; Xiong, Ong (2013-05)Stream logjams are fixed accumulations of wood that can increase the heterogeneity of stream habitats. The purpose of this study was to determine whether logjams enhance habitat for aquatic macroinvertebrate and increase ... -
Exploring the Intersection of Sensory and Chemical Information in the Anti-Predator Response of Daphnia Pulex
Xiong, Ong; Xiong, Nacy (2014-04)The life history and morphological anti-predator response of D. pulex to predators like P. reticulata is usually described as kairomone-mediated responses. To explore if sensory information can modify these responses in ... -
How Do Functional Feeding Guilds Respond to Habitat Distribution?
Xiong, Ong (2012-04)This study looked at how macroinvertebrates respond to variation in habitat, which can lend insight on how they mediate ecological processes. Macroinvertebrates play an important role in transporting and cycling energy, ... -
How Does Reduction in Stream Current Affect Benthic Diversity?
Dow, Brennan; Xiong, Ong (2013-05)The purpose of this study was to examine how reduced stream flow and the subsequent decrease in current velocity near the streambed, structures benthic communities. -
Reach-Scale Effects of a Stream Logjam on Benthic Macroinvertebrate Community Composition
Vinetas, Stephanie; Xiong, Ong; Wojan, Christopher; Pomeroy, Jennifer; Snobl, Zachary (2011-05)Logjams are accumulations of fallen wood that span the width of a stream or river. They offer refuge from high-velocity waters and provide stable surfaces for colonization. In addition, they concentrate food resources and ...
