    DEVELOPMENTS IN AQUATIC INSECT BIOMONITORING: A Comparative Analysis of Recent Approaches (2006)
    Annual Reviews
    Details
    Publication Date: 2006-01-01
    Description: ▪ Abstract  Aquatic insects and other benthic invertebrates are the most widely used organisms in freshwater biomonitoring of human impact. Because of the high monetary investment in freshwater management, decisions are often based on biomonitoring results, and a critical and comparative review of different approaches is required. We used 12 criteria that should be fulfilled by an “ideal” biomonitoring tool, addressing the rationale, implementation, and performance of a method. After illustrating how the century-old but still widely used Saprobian system does not meet these criteria, we apply them to nine recent approaches that range from the suborganismal to the ecosystem level. Although significant progress has been made in the field, no recent approach meets all 12 criteria. Given that the use of biomonitoring information has important financial consequences, we suggest that societies and governments prioritize how these criteria should be ranked.

    LONG-TERM, LARGE-SCALE BIOMONITORING OF THE UNKNOWN: Assessing the Effects of Insecticides to Control River Blindness (Onchocerciasis) in West Africa (2004)
    Annual Reviews
    Details
    Publication Date: 2004-01-01
    Description: ▪ Abstract  The control of river blindness (onchocerciasis), a human disease transmitted by black flies, has been an economic and public health success in West Africa. It involved insecticide applications to as many as 50,000 km of rivers, almost weekly, in 11 countries between 1974 and 2002. The long-term biomonitoring of the effects of insecticide use on the nontarget invertebrate (primarily insect) and fish communities was initially designed on the basis of limited knowledge available for West African rivers and on information from other areas. Routine monitoring surveys demonstrated little effect on fish but produced inconclusive results for invertebrates. Research conducted beyond these surveys and current views in river and general ecology indicate that permanent damage to invertebrates from insecticiding was unlikely. The scientific progress made during the 29 years of this biomonitoring program is relevant to future, large-scale, long-term programs worldwide.

    SPECIES TRAITS AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSTRAINTS: Entomological Research and the History of Ecological Theory (2001)
    Annual Reviews
    Details
    Publication Date: 2001-01-01
    Description: ▪ Abstract  The role that entomology has played in the historical (1800s–1970s) development of ecological theories that match species traits with environmental constraints is reviewed along three lineages originating from the ideas of a minister (Malthus TR. 1798. An Essay on the Principle of Population. London: Johnson) and a chemist (Liebig J. 1840. Die Organische Chemie in ihrer Anwendung auf Agricultur und Physiologie. Braunschweig: Vieweg). Major developments in lineage 1 focus on habitat as a filter for species traits, succession, nonequilibrium and equilibrium conditions, and generalizations about the correlation of traits to environmental constraints. In lineage 2, we trace the evolution of the niche concept and focus on ecophysiological traits, biotic interactions, and environmental conditions. Finally, we describe the conceptual route from early demographic studies of human and animal populations to the r-K concept in lineage 3. In the 1970s, the entomologist Southwood merged these three lineages into the “habitat templet concept” (Southwood TRE. 1977. J. Anim. Ecol. 46:337–65), which has stimulated much subsequent research in entomology and general ecology. We conclude that insects have been a far more important resource for the development of ecological theory than previously acknowledged.
