Long Term Monitoring ResearchDr. Wayne Minshall, Idaho State UniversityMonitoring of aquatic invertebrates on 6 streams around Taylor Ranchfrom 1988 to present. Dr. Wayne Minshall and Idaho State University graduate students have monitored aquatic invertebrates annually on 6 streams around Taylor Ranch from 1988 to the present. Sampling was also conducted following the 1988 Golden Creek Fire and 2000 Diamond Point Fire. One objective of the monitoring is to assess the effect of fire on aquatic invertebrate communities. These fires have provided an opportunity to compare pre and post fire aquatic invertebrate diversity and abundance and compare adjacent burned and unburned drainages.
