Occurrence Notes
Specimen(s) collected during a study of coastal rock pools of Lake Superior at Isle Royale. Two shoreline zones were differentiated using a line between upslope “lichen zone” pools and downslope “splash zone” pools. See citation for details.
Distribution — Greenland, BC, AB and NT south to NM, PA and the Carolinas.
Ecology — Northern streams and sometimes lakes. Eurythermic, rheobiontic and mossy areas of swift streams. Known from urban streams. The claripennis group probably prefers clean water, but not excluded from moderately polluted water if dissolved oxygen above 5 ppm.
Remarks — IRNP specimens from splash zone pools.
