Life history, morphological, and behavioral characteristics of an organism are shaped by the abiotic and biotic features of its habitat. Using biological traits of benthic macroinvertebrates, I tested ecological predictions related to longitudinal zonation in the Fraser River, British Columbia, Canada. Voltinism, locomotion abilities, and feeding traits responded as predicted; however, some responding traits imply phylogenetic, rather than ecological correlation among biological traits.

520 $a Life history, morphological, and behavioral characteristics of an organism are shaped by the abiotic and biotic features of its habitat. Using biological traits of benthic macroinvertebrates, I tested ecological predictions related to longitudinal zonation in the Fraser River, British Columbia, Canada. Voltinism, locomotion abilities, and feeding traits responded as predicted; however, some responding traits imply phylogenetic, rather than ecological correlation among biological traits.
520 $a Features of the life history of an organism may be spatially or temporally variable. I studied the life history of the caddisfly Neophylax rickeri (Trichoptera: Uenoidae) in two streams in Marin Co., California. The life cycles of N. rickeri differed between the two streams: in one, populations are univoltine, with a long summer prepupal diapause, and a fall emergence period; in the other, populations exhibit a split cohort (univoltine, bivoltine), without a long diapause, and year-round emergence. In a third Marin Co. stream, studies of pupae and adult emergence of N. rickeri revealed that male to female sex ratios shifted from 2:1 to 1:1 over the emergence period demonstrating protandry, with males preceding females by &sim;2 weeks.
520 $a Life history case studies are a prerequisite for studying biological traits. To quantify available literature, I surveyed life history studies of Trichoptera, summarizing the aspects studied. I found that topics of life cycle timing and growth were most frequently studied, and behavior, adult biology, and early life stages were most understudied.
520 $a Biomonitoring models constructed using biological traits have the potential to indicate functional shifts in communities in response to disturbance. Using the Fraser River, B.C. dataset, I compared the accuracy, precision, and sensitivity of traits- and taxonomic-based biomonitoring models (species and genus level). I found that traits-based models accurately detected impairment; however, species-level taxonomic models had the highest overall performance.
520 $a Biological traits may be correlated as a result of phylogeny. Using biological traits of Trichoptera, I examined this question by calculating null-model distributions of "Steps In Character" analysis and the consistency index. I found that morphological, reproductive, and feeding traits were the most conserved phylogenetically and that voltinism and habitat size were the most labile.
