“…At the same time, students agree that the various charac teristic, sometimes elaborate, ways of retreat-and case-building among Trichoptera have developed inde pendently in several different phyletic lines. Although the limits and interrelationships of these clades remain a matter of debate (e.g., Weaver & Morse 1986, Wiggins & Wichard 1989, Weaver 1992, Wiggins 1992, Morse 1997) there seems to be no doubt that the so-called tube-case-builders among the Trichoptera are a monophyletic unit, known as the Integripalpia (Frania & Wiggins 1997). The family Brachycentridae is an undoubted member of this taxon.…”

Larvae of the caddisfly suborder Integripalpia normally pupate in the last instar larval tube-case. Measurements of case structures show that larvae of Micrasema longulum differ in adding a long parallel-sided anterior section to their tube-cases, shortly before pupation. They pupate in the newly built section, discarding the slightly conical larval case. Literature data suggest that two additional species of Micrasema exhibit similar behaviour. Production of a special section of tube-case for pupation is reminiscent of the situation in the primitive suborders Annulipalpia and Spicipalpia which build a pupal case which is often the only construction during the entire life cycle. It is uncertain if the behaviour of Micrasema is atavistic, or if it developed independently.Micrasema longulum (Trichoptera : Brachycentridae) construit un fourreau nymphal spécial Mots-clés : Trichoptère, construction de fourrreau, étui, étui nymphal, trait atavistique.

“…Therefore, G. nigrior can have a large impact on energy and nutrient flow through aquatic ecosystems (Kohler and Wiley, 1997). Furthermore, gaps in G. nigrior cases enhance water exchange efficiency, which is important for the pupal stage (Wiggins and Wichard, 1989). Their bluff-bodied, oblong-hemispherical stone cases may, however, work to their disadvantage in slow-moving fluid.…”

SUMMARYLaboratory measurements of dissolved oxygen (DO) uptake by Glossosoma nigrior Banks were conducted in a sealed, recirculating flume under variable fluid flow velocities. Measurements were performed in similar water temperatures, DO concentrations and fluid flow velocities to field conditions in the stream where the larvae were obtained. Total oxygen uptake by both cased larvae and corresponding cases without larvae were quantified. An increased fluid flow velocity corresponded to an increased larval DO uptake rate. Oxygen uptake by the larval cases alone was not as sensitive to changes in the Peclet (Pe) number, the dimensionless ratio of advective to diffusive DO transport, as uptake by larvae themselves. The flux of DO to larvae and their cases was up to seven times larger in a moving fluid in comparison to non-moving fluid conditions in the proximity of larvae for 087, larvae typically remained in their cases. This indicates that oxygen delivery to the larvae at low Pe is insufficient to satisfy the respiratory demands of cased larvae.
