Habitat Profiles of selected Australian Aquatic Insects
cover

Description

Habitat profiles are outlined for representatives of four insect orders: Ephemeroptera (mayflies), Plecoptera (stoneflies), Trichoptera (caddisflies) and Odonata (dragon- and damselflies). They demonstrate a wide diversity of preferences among representative species in some families, thus indicating that a broad, family-level approach may not give very reliable measures of changes in river health. This has consequences for conservation of natural resources, and prediction of impacts of different land uses and water extraction, and prediction of the effects of environmental change such as global warming.

Please note it is important that the user opens the file 00-start-here.pdf first, this will enable the user to access the data logically.

sample image showing 'full screen mode' for easier reading

Sample 1: A screenshot showing Adobe Acrobat’s full screen mode for easier reading. Note no menus can be seen.

 

sample image how to 'copy' using the Acrobat menu

Sample 2: A screenshot showing Adobe Acrobat’s menus restored after the esc key has been pressed.

 

The PDF files are interactive because they contain hyperlinks. The file will appear in (Adobe Acrobat) full screen mode [sample 1] when first opened, this means that all the menus are hidden. The user can still access menu commands, such as copy text or images by using the usual shortcut keystrokes (e.g. ctrl+c for PC or cmd+c for MAC) or by pressing the esc key to reveal the Adobe Acrobat’s menus [sample 2]. Use the page up/page down keys or the mouse scroll wheel for onscreen page navigation. There are two commonly used onscreen menu buttons: close or print. Close will return the user back to the previous onscreen menu and the print button allows the user to print the A4 PDF files.

Each listed species documentation file opens in its own window, fitting to screen width for easy readability, and all species documents are completely self-contained A4 documents as compiled by the author. These documents range from a single page up to five pages — the average being four pages in length.

Setting up folders and files

The user will need to download and un-zip ALL the files to view and navigate through the data correctly. The files may be saved to the user’s local drive or to a server. All the files must be placed in one base (or root) folder. It doesn’t matter what this folder is called, but suggest aquatic-insects as a title. Within this folder, four more folders need to be created and they need to be labelled with these titles exactly (i.e. all lower case and hyphens instead of spaces):

  • 01-mayfly
  • 02-stonefly
  • 03-caddisfly
  • 04-dragon-damsel

All the PDF files contained within the start here.zip must be saved into the base folder, it does not have a separate folder. The rest of the zip files go into their respective folders.
