Method synopsis

Time-lapse camera monitoring of aquatic insect landing and oviposition behavior on paired emergent rocks with different embedding characteristics. Combines behavioral observation with egg mass counting to assess oviposition success.

Synthesized from method descriptions across 14 papers using this protocol.

Procedure from a recent peer-reviewed implementation

Steps below were extracted from the most recent peer-reviewed implementation of this protocol in the corpus — Nonconsumptive effects of Brook Trout predators reduce secondary production of mayfly prey (2020), Freshwater Science. The protocol was originally introduced by Hydrologic and behavioral constraints on oviposition of stream insects: implications for adult dispersal (2000), Oecologia. Implementations in other papers (listed below) may differ.

1. Emergence timing assessment
   Collected stage-IV Baetis B larvae every 3 to 6 days from 11 August to 25 September 2007 using kick net sampling. Preserved stage-IV larvae in 70% ethanol and identified them to sex by presence or absence of developing secondary eyes. Calculated cumulative proportion of total stage-IV abundance over time using rectangular integration under curves delineated by successive dates.
   Quantities: Sampling every 3-6 days, 70% ethanol preservationDuration: 45 days total sampling period (11 August to 25 September 2007)Conditions: Stream conditions during late summer emergence period
   Equipment: kick nets, 70% ethanol, identification equipment
