DRIVERS OF PLECOPTERA DISTRIBUTIONS AND SPECIES RICHNESS IN INDIANA
Plecoptera are among the most sensitive of aquatic taxa and are commonly used in biomonitoring. Many species across the US have seen drastic range reductions due to habitat loss and pollution. The pre-settlement ranges of some of these species are poorly known and historical records are often the only way to determine original ranges. We set out to determine how many species of Plecoptera are native to Indiana and which landscape variables were most important to species richness of Plecoptera in the state of Indiana. To do this, we used over 6000 records of Plecoptera from more than 2000 unique collection events. We assembled a list of landscape variables from USGS and NRCS raster datasets which included aspects of stream hydrology, land use, climate, geology, and topography. This study yielded a list of 92 species native to Indiana. A matrix of species by HUC8 watershed was generated to test the impacts of landscape variables on species richness.
