Abstract

A search of literature on Ephemeroptera and Trichoptera of Canadian peatlands and marshes revealed only a few relevant studies which dealt mainly with emergence phenologies. Several species are listed in taxonomic and systematic works as being found in these wetland habitats, but because many of these records are the result of adult light trapping some doubt exists as to the actual habitat of the larvae.The Ephemeroptera and Trichoptera of peatlands and marshes in Canada appear to be part of a generalized fauna that also occurs in a wide variety of other habitats. Several species listed as occurring in peatlands and marshes also have been recorded in temporary pools. It is possible that adaptations for survival during the dry period in temporary pools also assist survival in many other habitats including the wetlands considered here.

Résumé

Une recherche dans la documentation sur les éphéméroptères et les trichoptères des tourbières et milieux humides du Canada a permis de retrouver quelques études seulement sur le sujet, et celles-ci portaient principalement sur les phenologies du premier vol. Dans des ouvrages taxonomiques et systématiques, plusieurs espèces sont répertoriées comme espèces vivant dans ces habitats humides, mais comme un grand nombre de ces observations sont le résultat de captures de sujets adultes au moyen de pièges lumineux, on ne connaît pas plus avec exactitude l'habitat réel des larves.Les éphéméroptères et les trichoptères des tourbières et des milieux humides du Canada font partie, selon toute vraisemblance, d'une faune généralisée qu'on trouve également dans un grand nombre d'autres habitats. Plusieurs espèces répertoriées comme espèces vivant dans les tourbières et les marais ont également été retrouvées dans des mares. Il se peut donc que des adaptations pour permettre la survie dans des mares pendant la période sèche contribuent aussi à assurer la survie dans un grand nombre d'autres habitats, notamment les milieux humides dont il est question dans le présent rapport.
