Taxonomic Publications and Contributions
EcoAnalysts recognizes the importance of communicating significant taxonomic or ecological information to the
scientific community. The proliferation of biological monitoring projects over the last 20 years has generated a
wealth of invertebrate collections around the country and many new species reports are waiting to be published.
EcoAnalysts’ taxonomists endeavor to publish significant findings. We have authored several publications and
contributed specimens for further study by other workers. A list of relevant publications follows:

As this list shows, we are quite capable of identifying benthic macroinvertebrates to the species level where
taxonomic keys are available and the aquatic stages of these organisms are known. Most of these publications are
the result of our taxonomists working to achieve species level taxonomy where other laboratories often stop at
genus level. Often, extra time and advanced skill are required for species-level identifications. We have successfully
applied both resources to our projects and the results have advanced the science of taxonomy and the quality of
service we provide.
