Future work has directed an interest to The Volga Rover in Russia. Is anyone able to provide me with information on the region and in particular the best time to sample macroinvertebrates? As well as this is anyone aware of parasite studies which have taken place at this site?
Several invasive species have spread from around this region and I am particularly interested in the invasive gammarid fauna of this river. Is anyone aware of the extent of invasive species present in this river system and when gammarids appear most prevalent in the area?
Hello Jamie,
here is an article that may interest you. It deals with corridors in the Ponto-Caspian region and macroinvetbrates.

J.B.: "the best time to sample macroinvertebrates?"
this was a good one! :LOL:
Perhaps a little broad... I might be better in saying "the best time to sample gammarids"?
Sadly not but I co know people who can translate. Do you have something which might help me? Thank you. Jamie
