Abstract

This, the first of two papers on the ecology of temporary streams, describes, in detail, the faunas of two such habitats in southeastern Canada. The adaptive mechanisms for coping with the summer drought are documented for a variety of species and faunal succession is shown to occur from the stream stage (fall‐winter) through the pool stage (spring) to the terrestrial (summer).
