Knowledge graph centered on D. geminata mimic predation refuge experiment with 29 nodes and 107 connections. Top connected: Unknown, Bacteria, species diversity, benthic invertebrates, Salvelinus fontinalis.

Description

Controlled experiment using flow-through tanks to test whether artificial D. geminata mats (polyester pillow stuffing) provide refuge for T. tubifex from stonefly predation. Treatments included presence/absence of mimic material and presence/absence of predator.

Typical Equipment

  • 80 flow-through tanks
  • portable weatherport
  • polyester pillow stuffing
  • substrata

Output Measurements

  • T. tubifex survival
  • predation mortality
