13. Which organisms might be found in either type of water? How can this make it
difficult to use macroinvertebrates to assess the water quality of a pond?
Insects, snails, worms it makes it difficult
because they don't respond to all types of pollutants.
14. Macroinvertebrates also often show a patchy distribution within habitats (Table 1).
In aquatic habitats, water quality determines if an organism can live in a water body, but
other factors such as food availability, water currents, and protection from predators
determine where different species are found within aquatic ecosystems. Objects such as
plants, rocks, and reefs provide structural complexity and tend to increase the species
richness and species diversity in nearby areas. For example, numerous artificial reefs
have been placed off the coast of South Carolina and other states to support marine fish
populations. The destruction of reefs and other underwater structures is one of the
reasons that bottom trawling is so devastating to fish populations.

Generally feed among submerged plants, but can move hind legs in a "rowing"
motion to quickly swim to the surface to breath or escape predators. (Example:
diving beetles, water boatmen)
Cling to plants or rocks underwater, but can swim in a fish-like motion
(Example: damselflies, fast-water mayflies)
Live at the surface of leaves of aquatic plants or on top of silty materials
(Example: caenid mayflies)
Live on aquatic plants or other submerged objects such as wood or roots
(Example: dragonflies)
Live in small burrows made in the sediments at the bottom of ponds (Example:
mac midges)
