TAXONOMIC COVERAGE:
Organisms studied

Methods:	A rock-scrubbing sampling technique was used to collect samples at several different stations, with two replicates at each station on three different dates. The same sampling procedure was used for all dates. The stations were measured relative to the site of the dripper ("-" = upstream of the dripper). The samples were preserved in ethanol then picked, sorted, counted, and measured in Duluth using a digitizing pad. Notes: * All insect numbers are larval counts unless noted otherwise. * Sampling Description. None
