Joy and Death (2000): Stream invertebrate communities of Campbell Island.

Joy, M. K.; Death, R. G. 2000. Stream invertebrate communities of Campbell Island. Hydrobiologia 439: 115-124.

Stream invertebrates were sampled at nineteen streams on Campbell Island over the 1997-98 summer in the most extensive stream survey to date. The Crustacea including one isopod and two amphipod species dominated the species-poor stream invertebrate communities. Although distinctive communities were found over the island they did not relate to any of the environmental variables measured. Many of the invertebrate families commonly found in mainland New Zealand streams were not found and this appears to be related to the extreme isolation and geological history of the island.
