Artificial substrates for Hexagenia mayfly nymphs

Article by Calvin R. Fremling and Gary L. Schoening detailing procedures for making an artificial substrate (or mud bottom/body of water bottom) out of polyvinyl acetate. Fremling and Johnson credited respectively as Winona State College, Winona, Minnesota, 55987, USA, and Ashland Chemical Co., Box 340, Grassilli Station, Linden, New Jersey 07036, U.S.A. Abstract: During our research on Hexagenia larvae, we have developed the construction of cheap and inert artificial substrates for bioassays and observation of the behavior of these nymphs. The substrates are made of a flexible plastic material based on polyvinyl acetate. Observation aquariums and bioassay cuvettes are obtained by making a sealed glass enclosure around each substrate with a special glue for glass.

Synchronous emergence of Hexagenia bilineata mayflies in the laboratory

Article written by L.L. Thomforde and Calvin R. Fremling regarding instructions for mayfly rearing in the controlled setting of a laboratory, including methodology and results. Abstract: Mass emergences of Hexagenia bilineata (Say) from the Upper Mississippi River tend to occur at intervals of about 6-11 days. It has seemed likely that the waves of emergence are indicators that sub-populations or broods have developed sympatrically and that the short-lived adults of one emergence peak are sexually isolated by time from adults of preceding and succeeding peaks. However, preliminary experiments with laboratory populations showed that the progeny resulting from eggs laid during the time of one mass emergence will emerge at intervals and en masse over an 11-month period. It seems probable that the broods in the river may include adults from last-instar nymphs of varying ages which have emerged at the same time. Complete sexual isolation, discrete gene pools, and resulting sympatric speciation of the broods therefore seem unlikely. Fremling and Thomforde are credited as, respectively: Professor of Biology, Winona State College, Winona, Minn. and Biology Instructor, John F. Kennedy High School, Bloomington, Minn.

Acute toxicity of the lampricide 3-Trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM) to nymphs of mayflies (Hexagenia sp.)

Article written by Calvin R. Fremling regarding an experiment with specific toxicants and mayflies. Abstract: A recycling test apparatus and burrow-containing artificial substrates were used to determine the toxicity of the lampricide 3-trifluoromethyl4-nitrophenol (TFM) against Hexagenia mayfly nymphs. Toxicity was relatively independent of temperature, but was greater in soft water than in hard water, and much greater at low than at high pH\u27s; 12-h LC50\u27s were 4.0 at pH 6.5 and 270.0 at pH 9.5.
