“…Survival of the second instar larvae as emerged adults related to their initial number, showed that the presence of duck weed reduced the survival pronouncingly (Table 4). The previous results are in agreement with those of Angerilli and Beirne (1980), Hobbs and Molina (1983) and Parsons (1985).

“…Moth pH and salinity were not seemingly limiting colonization of the mosquito in the sewerage water duck free (Table 1). In connection with this point, Angerilli and Beirne (1980) found that pools completely covered with duck weed never contain larvae of culic idae. Duck weed and similar floating plants, Azolla and Wolffia especially when they form dense mats on the water surface limit mosquito production (Smith and Enns, 1967;Hobbs and Molina, 1983).…”

The mosquito C. p. pipiens L. never colonize sewerage water covered with duck weed. The Lemna minor vegetations affected the identification of the oviposition site by the females. The amputation of sensilla made the mosquito incapable of choosing the oviposition site. The immature stages of the mosquito are susceptible to the water borne synomones of the duck weed; the first instar larvae are most susceptible and have high mortality. Resume-La moustique C. p. pipiens L. ne colonize jamais dans les eaux d'egouts couvertes par Lemna minor (duck weed). Les eaux salees et leur pH n'ont pas d'effets sur les colonies des moustiques. Seule, la presence des colonizations, et non leur densite, affecte la discrimination des lieux de pondre par les femelles des moustiques, il semble que c'est un effet repugnant. L'amputation des tarses et des antennes fait perdre a la femelle la capacite de trouver les lieux de pondre, ce qui prouve la presence des synomones secretes par L. minor dans I'air et I'eau des marais. II semble aussi que les premieres larves du C. p. pipiens sont plus sensibles, aux synomones de I'eau, ques les dernieres larves.

“…Because some aquatic plant control programs are undertaken to promote mosquito control, it is noteworthy that Angerilli & Beirne (1980) found that there were significantly more egg rafts and mosquito larva in plantless control ponds than in plant-filled ponds they studied in British Columbia. E. canadensis was an important species in these ponds.…”

Ecological life histories of the three aquatic nuisance plants, Myriophyllum spicatum, Potamogeton crispus and Elodea canadensis

The life histories of Myriophyllum spicatum L., Elodea canadensis Michx., and Potamogeton crispus L., serious aquatic nuisances in many regions of the world, are reviewed to provide insights into the life style of successful aquatic nuisance plants. Specifically, their distribution and spread in North America; their life cycle, productive and reproductive potential; and their ecosystem relationships are reviewed. Hopefully this review will improve a manager's ability to deal with aquatic nuisance problems. It also provides suggestions for basic research needed to develop more effective management practices.It was found that all three species possess a number of adaptations, including an ability to rapidly propagate vegetatively, an opportunistic nature for obtaining nutrients, a life cycle that favors cool weather, and a number of mechanisms which enhance photosynthetic efficiency, which allow them to proliferate.These three species do provide benefits to the ecosystem through their roles in materials cycling and energy flow. Therefore, management of these species should take an integrated approach which recognizes these benefits.The life history information available about the three species varies tremendously; however, a better understanding of resource gain and allocation is needed to manage all three species. Specifically, more research is needed to provide a better understanding of: 1) the role bicarbonate plays in photosynthesis, 2) the role roots play in supplying CO2 to the plants, 3) resource accumulation and allocation under different temperature and light regimes, 4) resource allocation on a seasonal basis, and 5) nutrient cycling under different management regimes.

Abstract.--A pond was created as part of a reclamation effort at an abandoned coal mine near Staunton, IL. The pond was designed to help control runoff and to provide wildlife habitat. The benthic macroinvertebrates were analyzed as part of the site reclamation evaluation. Macroinvertebrates were collected from the newly created pond, a retention pond th?t received gob pile drainage, and a farm pond that served as a control. Reclamation activities began in 1976; samples were collected from the ponds in 1977 , 1978 , and 1987 , Results from 1977 and 1978 indicated· that the newly created pond was developing into a productive ecosystem.During those years, the benthos was dorninanted by dipterans, especially chironomids. By 1987 the pH of the new pond had declined· to below 2. 5 and no invertebrates were found in the new pond or the retention pond.Phytoplankton was found in the new pond, but species richness and abundance were severely limited.
