Caddisflies (Trichoptera, Insecta) as bioindicator of water quality assessment in a small stream in Northern Thailand

The influence of environmental variables and the potential as bioindicators of larval stages of the species of Trichoptera were evaluated in a small stream in northern Thailand from January to November 2017. A total of 1,191 individual caddisfly larvae belonging to 7 families and 13 genus were f...
