摘要
An impedance converter, based on the tetrapole electrode system, was used to record the behavioral patterns of a wide range of aquatic organisms, such as Daphnia magna, Gammarus pulex, Sialis lutaria, Leptophlebia vespertina, Baetis niger, Simuliidae, Dinocras cephalotes, Hydropsyche siltalai, and tadpoles of Rana temporaria. The method proved to be sensitive for different kinds of behavior, e.g., ventilation, grazing, filter feeding, net spinning, and locomotion (swimming, creeping, and looping), which makes it a promising tool for continuous biomonitoring purposes.
