“…The fish studies can be further divided into investigations of single species (usually associated with fish life histories) or more commonly, of coexisting species; the latter investigations usually examine diets of congeners (e.g., Adamson and Wissing, 1977;Allan, 1978), or may characterize diets of entire fish communities (Zaret and Rand, 1971;Johnson and Johnson, 1982). Studies on the food habits of predacious macroinvertebrate predators are similar in scope and design to the fish studies, ranging from individual species to studies of co-occurring predators in a stream community (Tartar and Krumholz, 1971;Stewart et al, 1973;Winterbourn, 1974;Devonport and Winterbourn, 1976;Hildrew and Townsend, 1976;Seigfried and Knight, 1976;Fuller andStewart, 1977, 1979;Kovalak, 1978;Allan, 1982;Johnson, 1981Johnson, , 1983. These studies provide a wealth of information on what is eaten by different species and often give some information on prey selection or avoidance, usually based on comparisons of diet composition with samples of prey availability.…”
