Zuellig Charles F. Wahl Erin K. Hennessy Alex Jouney Paul Foutz 2024 publication n/a US Geological Survey https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20245074 These data from Evaluation and Review of Ecology-Focused Stream Studies to Support Cooperative Monitoring, Fountain Creek Basin, Colorado were used to describe temporal trends in invertebrate communities in the basin. Invertebrate data were collected at U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) sites between 1985 and 2022. Datasets include invertebrate frequency of occurrence, invertebrate tolerance index values, invertebrate multi-metric index, New Zealand mudsnial counts, and list of invertebrate species collected. The purpose of this dataset is to document the data used to examine temporal changes in invertebrate communities in the Fountain Creek Basin. 1985 2022 ground condition Complete None planned Fountain Creek Basin (as well as two sites on the Arkansas River), El Paso and Pueblo Counties, Colorado -104.9718 -104.3991 39.1026 38.2481 ISO 19115 Topic Category biota USGS Thesaurus ecology invertebrates freshwater ecosystems population and community ecology aquatic biology Alexandria Digital Library Feature Type Thesaurus rivers USGS Metadata Identifier USGS:6596ec6dd34e3265ab158ccf Common geographic areas Colorado United States None Insects Kingdom Animalia Subkingdom Bilateria Infrakingdom Protostomia Superphylum Ecdysozoa Phylum Arthropoda Subphylum Hexapoda Class Insecta Subclass Pterygota Infraclass Palaeoptera Order Ephemeroptera Suborder Pisciforma Family Baetidae Genus Acentrella TSN: 100801 Genus Callibaetis TSN: 100903 Genus Fallceon TSN: 568551 Genus Paracloeodes TSN: 100899 Superfamily Heptagenioidea Family Heptageniidae Genus Heptagenia TSN: 100602 Genus Rhithrogena TSN: 100572 Suborder Furcatergalia Infraorder Pannota Superfamily Ephemerelloidea Family Ephemerellidae TSN: 101232 Genus Drunella TSN: 101365 Genus Ephemerella TSN: 101233 Infraclass Neoptera Superorder Holometabola Order Trichoptera Superfamily Hydropsychoidea Family Hydropsychidae Subfamily Arctopsychinae Genus Arctopsyche TSN: 115529 Subfamily Hydropsychinae Genus Cheumatopsyche TSN: 115408 Superfamily Rhyacophiloidea Family Rhyacophilidae Genus Rhyacophila TSN: 115097 Superorder Polyneoptera Order Plecoptera Suborder Euholognatha Family Capniidae TSN: 102643 Family Nemouridae Subfamily Nemourinae Genus Prostoia TSN: 102584 Suborder Systellognatha Family Chloroperlidae Subfamily Chloroperlinae Genus Sweltsa TSN: 103273 Family Perlodidae Subfamily Isoperlinae Genus Isoperla TSN: 102995 Family Pteronarcyidae Subfamily Pteronarcyinae Tribe Pteronarcellini Genus Pteronarcella TSN: 102485 None.
