Editor's Notes
Shade, high RH, stable T
Shade, high RH, stable T
FPOM, low DO, no fish predators
List is true to a point. There are always variations in biology
Direct respiration is possible under ice.
Larvae escape freezing by burrowing into mud <15cm.
Modified siphon to pierce aerenchyma tissue
Found also in roadside drainage, likely due to winter road salting
Bryophytes
More spp. than listed.
Natural adaptation to tree holes works well here. Longstanding tires become natural mesocosms.
Ae. Albopictus survive in habitats as small as a bottle cap. Plastics are perfect for water retention.
