ephemeropteran การใช้
- Adult dusky darters prey on ephemeropteran, plecopteran and odonate nymphs, as well as trichopteran and dipteran larvae.
- Additionally, the dragonfly " Gomphaeschna schrankii " and the mayfly " Ephemeropteran " have been found.
- This species are opportunistic benthic insectivores, they seek food at the bottom substrate for riffle-dwelling larval ephemeropterans, simuliid, and chironomid dipterans.
- The earliest winged insects are from this time period ( Pterygota ), including the aforementioned Blattodea, Caloneurodea, primitive stem-group Ephemeropterans, Orthoptera, Palaeodictyopteroidea.
- "C . carolinae " primarily eats insects and insect larvae such as Ephemeropterans, or the may fly, with little predation on other fish and crustaceans.
- The juveniles have an omnivorous diet including earthworms, aquatic insects, mostly larvae of chironomids and ephemeropterans and bits of filamentous algae and detritus, which is different from that of the adult.
- Small trichopteran larvae ( ingested with the sand cases ) and ephemeropterans constituted a considerable portion of the gut contents in a study of " Mastiglanis asopos ", but their foraging behavior allows a varied diet which includes large chironomid larvae and small adult beetles that would not be consumed by other sand-dwelling animals.
- "C . carolinae " is primarily a nocturnal ambush predators and subsists largely off of a diet of insects and insect larvae, though they are opportunistic feeders and have been known to feed on one another . 39 % of their diet consists of Ephemeropterans, followed closely by dipterans, which make up 30 % of their diet.
- ""'Entomocorus radiosus " "'is a species of driftwood catfish endemic to Brazil where it is found in the Rio Paraguay in the pantanal region of Mato Grosso . " E . radiosus " is a zooplanktivore which also eats insects; this species predominantly consumes microcrustaceans ( cladocerans, copepods, and ostracods ), but also fed on insects ( ephemeropterans, coleopterans, and hemipterans ).
- It grows to a length of 7.0 cm and can be distinguished from its congeners by an oblique band crossing from the dorsal profile of the caudal peduncle to the middle-upper rays of the caudal fin . " E . gameroi " is classified as an omnivore with a tendency towards insectivory; it has been found to eat cladocerans, copepods, and water mites, as well as ostracods, insects including coleopterans, dipterans, ephemeropterans, hemipterans, and seeds and other vegetal matter.
