Abstract
Although benthic activity and drift have been found to occur within the same light phase, the correlation between these variables is poor. It is hypothesized that the ratio of mean activity among stream invertebrates in the dark to that in the light is inversely related to seasonally increased photoperiods.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
