Past Brief Overview of LMR Macroinvertebrate Studies Characterize community in different habitats & substrate types Examine efficiency and suitability of sampling methods Current Identify longitudinal effects from cumulative water quality impacts Validate large river metrics & identify longitudinal response gradients Future Evaluate biological condition and water resource status Develop large river biocriteria and relate to aquatic life use attainment
