DIVERSITY AND DISTRIBUTION OF ELMIDAE (COLEOPTERA) IN TWO ADJACENT MOUNTAIN STREAMS

Diversity and abundance of Elmidae (Coleoptera) assemblages collected from 2006 to 2018 in two adjacent mountain streams were studied. The beetles were represented by seven genera. Diversity and abundance of elmid population differed between the streams. Possible factors including water temperature, water velocity and depth will be analysed to explain spatial difference of assemblage richness and abundance.
