Figure 20. Relative abundances <strong>of</strong> Caenis sp. (mayfly) <strong>and</strong> Rheotanytarsus sp. (midge), <strong>and</strong> significant habitat <strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>water</strong>-<strong>quality</strong> variables identified by canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) for <strong>ecological</strong> data-collection sites in<br />
southwestern Louisiana, 2001. Increases in concentration <strong>of</strong> maximum dissolved fipronil was the only significant<br />
variable in the CCA model that was related to consistent decreases in relative abundance for many species.<br />
