Population regulation in an aquatic insect: the role of disease

2001-08-01

Abstract excerpt

We studied the dynamics of a univoltine stream‐dwelling caddisfly, Brachycentrus americanus, and its microsporidian disease for 15 yr. The pathogen is highly virulent, with infections generally resulting in death during the larval stage. In most years, we sampled Brachycentrus immatures every 1–2 mo to estimate population density and disease prevalence. Brachycentrus population dynamics exhibited strong evidence f...
