The research plan encompassed three general objectives: derivation of generalized models of detrital processing in stream ecosystems with special emphasis on thermal control; characterization of functional groups of running water organisms, particularly macroinvertebrates (shredders, collectors, scrapers, piercers, predators); and demonstration of the importance of food quality, and the interaction between temperature and food quality, in controlling growth and survivorship of stream functional groups.
