NotesA good way to assess the health of a stream involves taking a census of its resident aquatic invertebrates. This field guide packs a lot of information into a few pages – scientific and popular names, size, range, habitat, behavior, type of feeder, and tolerance to anthropogenic stress. Most species identified are aquatic insects. Color photographs. The guide was originally issued as a companion to the book Stream Bugs as Biomonitors: Guide to Pacific Northwest Macroinvertebrate Monitoring.
