1 MISSOURI DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES AIR AND LAND PROTECTION DIVISION ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES PROGRAM Standard Operating Procedures SOP #: EFFECTIVE DATE: May 31, 2005 SOP TITLE: Taxonomic Levels for Macroinvertebrate Identifications WRITTEN BY: Randy Sarver, WQMS, ESP APPROVED BY: Earl Pabst, Director, ESP SUMMARY OF REVISIONS: Changes to reflect new taxa and current taxonomy APPLICABILITY: Applies to Water Quality Monitoring Section personnel who perform community level surveys of aquatic macroinvertebrates in wadeable streams of Missouri. DISTRIBUTION: MoDNR Intranet ESP SOP Coordinator RECERTIFICATION RECORD: Date Reviewed Initials Page 1 of 30

2 Page 2 of GENERAL OVERVIEW 1.1 This Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is designed to be used as a reference by biologists who analyze aquatic macroinvertebrate samples from Missouri. Its purpose is to establish consistent levels of taxonomic resolution among agency, academic and other biologists. The information in this SOP has been established by researching current taxonomic literature. It should assist an experienced aquatic biologist to identify organisms from aquatic surveys to a consistent and reliable level. The criteria used to set the level of taxonomy beyond the genus level are the systematic treatment of the genus by a professional taxonomist and the availability of a published key. 1.2 The consistency in macroinvertebrate identification allowed by this document is important regardless of whether one person is conducting an aquatic survey over a period of time or multiple investigators wish to compare results. It is especially important to provide guidance on the level of taxonomic identification when calculating metrics that depend upon the number of taxa. This SOP should be used in conjunction with the Semi-Quantitative Macroinvertebrate Stream Bioassessment Project Procedure Section IV (Identification and Recording of Organisms). 1.3 Taxonomy is a changing and imperfect science. Therefore, this document will be revised on a triennial basis, or more often if necessary. 1.4 Appendix A of this document contains a list of aquatic taxa by name as well as entries for taxa codes, reference documents, biotic indices, and functional feeding groups. 1.5 Appendix B of this document contains a bibliography of taxonomic references for aquatic organisms. 2.0 TAXA CODE A code is assigned to each taxon to facilitate the access of this information within a database. The taxa codes that are used in Appendix A have been assigned from the Benthos Coding List developed by the Missouri Department of Conservation. 3.0 REFERENCE The number listed in bold is the primary taxonomic key used for the purposes of this SOP. Numbers contained in brackets indicate references that also contain valuable taxonomic information, but are used as secondary references because of outdated taxonomy or terminology, taxonomic additions, or other reasons. References can be found in Appendix B, the Taxonomic Bibliography. The number of the reference in the bibliography corresponds to the value found in the reference columns on the pages in Appendix A.

3 Page 3 of BIOTIC INDEX VALUE Biotic Index values are numeric indicators of the taxon s tolerance to pollution or other environmental stressors. These values, noted in Appendix A, are under development for Missouri. Temporary values, ranging from 0 to 10, have been assigned using: Lenat, D. R A Biotic Index for the Southeastern United States: derivation and list of tolerance values with criteria for assigning water quality ratings. J. N. Amer. Benthol. Soc. 12(3): Huggins, D. G. & M. F. Moffett Proposed Biotic and Habitat Indices for use in Kansas Streams. Report No. 35 of the Kansas Biological Survey, Lawrence, Kansas. 128 pp. Hilsenhoff, W.L An improved biotic index of organic stream pollution. Great Lakes Entomologist 20(1): Bode, R. W., M. A. Novak & L. E. Abele Quality Assurance Work Plan for Biological Stream Monitoring in New York State. New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, Albany, New York. 89 pp. 5.0 FUNCTIONAL FEEDING GROUP (FFG) Functional feeding groups, noted in Appendix A, for aquatic invertebrates were determined using Merritt & Cummins Functional group designations and their abbreviations are: Shredders = Sh; Collector/gatherers = Co; Collector/filterers = Fi; Scrapers = Sc; Macrophyte Piercers = Mp; Predators = Pr; Herbivores = He; Parasites = Pa; and Unknown = Unk. 6.0 BIOTIC INDEX SOURCE The capital letter in the BI source column corresponds to the references above as follows: (L) = Lenat; (K) = Huggins and Moffett; (H) = Hilsenhoff; and (B) = Bode et al. Listed BI values from the Huggins and Moffett reference represent the average of NOD (nutrients and oxygen-demanding substances) and SSS (suspended solids and sediments) values adjusted to a 0 to 10 scale. The following symbols are also occasionally used to indicate that the listed Biotic Index value was indirectly derived: * = the genus BI value is the average of the species with recorded BI values in that genus; ** = the species BI value was taken from the listed value for the genus; *** = the family BI value was calculated from the values of the two most common genera; **** = the value listed is from another species; ***** = the value listed is from another family.
