Team Number: Names: BIOS 316 Fall 2019 Definitions: N: Number of organisms sampled Taxa Richness: the total number of taxa identified EPT: acronym stands for Ephemeroptera (mayflies), Plecoptera (stoneflies), and Trichoptera (caddisflies). These are 3 orders of aquatic insects that are found in high-quality streams. TV: Tolerance Value. I will calculate these for you. They will be available on Blackboard on 10/11/19 Stream Quality Indexes: 2017: Total Organisms Sampled = ΣN Taxa Richness = ΣTAXA EPT Taxa Richness = (# of taxa mayfly + # of taxa stonefly + # taxa caddisfly) Macroinvertebrate Biotic Index (MBI) = ΣTV ÷ ΣN 2019: Total Organisms Sampled = ΣN Taxa Richness = ΣTAXA EPT Taxa Richness = (# of taxa mayfly + # of taxa stonefly + # taxa caddisfly) Macroinvertebrate Biotic Index (MBI) = ΣTV ÷ ΣN Tentative Quality Ratings: Grade Excellent Good Fair Poor Very Poor Taxa Richness ≥ 14 12 – 13 9 – 11 7–8 ≤6 EPT Taxa Richness ≥5 4 3 2 0−1 2017: Taxa Richness EPT Taxa Richness MBI Taxa Richness EPT Taxa Richness MBI Grade 2019: Grade MBI ≤ 4.35 ≥ 4.36 − ≤ 5.00 ≥ 5.01 − ≤ 5.70 ≥ 5.71 − ≤ 6.25 ≥ 6.26 Code FLW AQW LEE SBG SCD DGF DM1 DM2 HLL ALF MF1 MF2 MF3 MF4 MF5 MF7 MF6 STF CF1 CF2 CF3 CF4 RFB WHB WPB CRF BIM BLW MID BLF SNF OTF LHS RHS PLS LIM OPS MOT Organism Flatworm Aquatic Worm Leech Sowbug Scud Dragonfly Broadwinged Damselfly Narrowwinged Damselfly Dobsonfly (Hellgrammite) Alderfly Torpedo Mayfly Swimming Mayfly Clinging Mayfly Crawling Mayfly Burrowing Mayfly Armored Mayfly Other Mayfly Stonefly Hydropsychid Caddisfly Snail Case Caddisfly Saddle Case Caddisfly Other Caddisfly Riffle Beetle Whirligig Beetle Water Penny Beetle Crane Fly Biting Midge Bloodworm Midge Midge Black Fly Snipe Fly Other Fly Left-Handed Snail Right-Handed Snail Planorbid Snail Limpet Operculate Snail Moth (Pyralidae) N (Number of organisms) 33 2 3 20 12 1 49 2 4 3 4 TI (Tolerance Rating) 6.0 10.0 8.0 6.0 4.0 4.5 3.5 5.5 5.5 7.5 3.0 4.0 3.5 5.5 5.0 3.0 3.0 1.5 5.5 3.0 0.0 3.5 5.0 4.0 4.0 4.0 5.0 11.0 6.0 6.0 4.0 10.0 9.0 7.0 6.5 7.0 6.0 5.0 TV (Tolerance Value) 0 330 16 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 16.5 0 0 0 0 110 0 0 0 60 0 0 0 5 539 12 24 0 30 36 0 0 0 0 0 Code FLW AQW LEE SBG SCD DGF DM1 DM2 HLL ALF MF1 MF2 MF3 MF4 MF5 MF7 MF6 STF CF1 CF2 CF3 CF4 RFB WHB WPB CRF BIM BLW MID BLF SNF OTF LHS RHS PLS LIM OPS MOT Organism Flatworm Aquatic Worm Leech Sowbug Scud Dragonfly Broadwinged Damselfly Narrowwinged Damselfly Dobsonfly (Hellgrammite) Alderfly Torpedo Mayfly Swimming Mayfly Clinging Mayfly Crawling Mayfly Burrowing Mayfly Armored Mayfly Other Mayfly Stonefly Hydropsychid Caddisfly Snail Case Caddisfly Saddle Case Caddisfly Other Caddisfly Riffle Beetle Whirligig Beetle Water Penny Beetle Crane Fly Biting Midge Bloodworm Midge Midge Black Fly Snipe Fly Other Fly Left-Handed Snail Right-Handed Snail Planorbid Snail Limpet Operculate Snail Moth (Pyralidae) N (Number of organisms) 2 1 12 9 1 2 5 19 7 9 9 6 1 20 171 7 34 2 11 13 1 1 1 3 3 TI (Tolerance Rating) 6.0 10.0 8.0 6.0 4.0 4.5 3.5 5.5 5.5 7.5 3.0 4.0 3.5 5.5 5.0 3.0 3.0 1.5 5.5 3.0 0.0 3.5 5.0 4.0 4.0 4.0 5.0 11.0 6.0 6.0 4.0 10.0 9.0 7.0 6.5 7.0 6.0 5.0 TV (Tolerance Value) 0 20 8 0 48 40.5 3.5 11 0 37.5 57 28 31.5 49.5 30 3 60 0 940.5 0 0 24.5 170 8 0 0 55 0 78 0 4 0 9 7 0 0 18 15
