OSTI ID:7316457
This paper presents results of a study of emergence of Hexagenia bilineata, a large burrowing mayfly with a wide distribution over areas of the southeast U.S. It is part of an ongoing analysis of mayfly population dynamics in relation to thermal effects. Evidence from benthic collections of nymphs indicated that the maximum mean size was reached one month earlier in a thermally affected area than in two other areas. Preliminary laboratory studies indicated acceleration of growth and earlier emergence at higher temperatures.
