Methods

Caddisfly larvae were sampled at nine streams in eleven sampling campaigns between 2014 and 2017, with intervals of three to six months. In each campaign, five spatial replicates within each stream were obtained using a kick net (250 micrometers of mesh size), through hand manipulations (washing stones) and kicks (uplifting boulders). Each of these samples consisted of washing approximately 50 cm² of stream substrate (= 0.025 m2 at each location).
