}Lepidostomatid caddisfly larvae are typical detritivores, but they occasionally eat small dead animals. A laboratory feeding experiment was conducted with Lepidostoma complicatum (Kobayashi) larvae using two different feeding treatments: leaves or leaves and dead chironomids. L. complicatum larvae showed significantly higher growth rates and adult emergence weight and a significantly earlier emergence for the leaves and dead chironomids treatment than for the leaves alone treatment. However…

Results suggest that protogyny in L. satoi and L. complicatum is advantageous, allowing males to mate with mature females in a more timely manner, as the males can mate from the day of emergence.

Correlations for the use of angiosperm plant material as food and case construction material by the earliest ancestors of infraorder Plenitentoria—by at least 175 Ma—may provide insight into the timing of the origin ofAngiosperms.

Intraguild predation and cannibalism among larvae of detritivorous caddisflies in subalpine wetlands

It is hypothesized that Asynarchus IGP and cannibalism provide a dietary supplement to detritus that may be necessary for the timely completion of development in these nutrient-poor, high-elevation wetlands.
Growth and food choice by two species of limnephilid caddis larvae given natural and artiflcial foods
- Biology
- 1987
Faster growth rates of L. externtus in the field appear to be due simply to higher temperatures during the larval growth period, and an interaction between larval behaviours selecting for food quality and case materials, are potential factors that influence‘food preference’ results.
The role of lipids as feeding stimulants for shredding aquatic insects

Caddisflies that shred leaf detritus preferentially ingested lipid-coateddetritus during the last larval in star, which is the interval when these insects accumulate the triglyceride reserves necessary for metamorphosis and reproduction.

It is shown that salmon carcass tissue can increase the growth rate of individual caddisflies as well as increase the local biomass of the aquatic insect community in 3 major stream habitat types and contribute to the understanding of the transfer of marine nutrients between generations of salmonids via aquatic insects.
