Macroinvertebrate distributions and the conservation value of aquatic Coleoptera, Mollusca and Odonata in the ditches of traditionally managed and grazing fen at Wicken Fen, UK
Open accessAbstract
1. Water‐filled ditches are an important ecological feature of lowland Britain. Originally dug to facilitate wetland drainage, ditches often provide refuges for aquatic flora and fauna of high conservation value. 2. The ditches, ponds and major waterways of a traditionally managed undrained fen and the ditches of a previously drained cattle‐grazed fen meadow were sampled at Wicken Fen National Nature Reserve for Coleoptera, Mollusca and Odonata, and for physical, chemical and biological variables. 3. Multivariate analysis showed a clear division between ditches on the two fens, and between larger and smaller waterbodies. 4. Individual ditches possessed distinctive faunas. Ditch age and bank profile were important factors influencing faunal species composition. 5. Invertebrate distributions were shown to be significantly correlated with macrophyte distribution. 6. Waterbodies were ranked in terms of their species quality, using a point‐scoring system; there was no correlation between rankings for the three invertebrate groups; only ditch age and detritus levels were correlated with species quality score (for Coleoptera). 7. Ditch management recommendations are discussed in the light of these results.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
