Summary: Long- and short-teno water level changes in wetlands can cause significant shifts in the dominant species of wetland vegetation. Changes in vegetation due to flooding and drying can affect the complexity of aquatic habitats in the form of stem materials, root masses, and decaying plant material. Our understanding of how these changes in habitat impact marsh invertebrates is limited. Prior to the Marsh Ecology Research Program (MERP), few studies examined tlle interannual variation in invertebrate populations as wetlands move through the wet-(\ry cycle. This chapter incorporates the results of the MERP invertebrate studies with current information available on prairie wetland invertebrates. We review the factors affecting invertebrate distribution and abundance in prairie wetlands, their trophic structure in these systems, and the effect of the wet-<lry cycle on invertebrate community characteristics and on regulation of survival within and among years.

Long- and short-teno water level changes in wetlands can cause significant
shifts in the dominant species of wetland vegetation. Changes in vegetation
due to flooding and drying can affect the complexity of aquatic habitats in the
form of stem materials, root masses, and decaying plant material. Our understanding
of how these changes in habitat impact marsh invertebrates is limited.
Prior to the Marsh Ecology Research Program (MERP), few studies examined
tlle interannual variation in invertebrate populations as wetlands move
through the wet-(\ry cycle. This chapter incorporates the results of the MERP
invertebrate studies with current information available on prairie wetland
invertebrates. We review the factors affecting invertebrate distribution and
abundance in prairie wetlands, their trophic structure in these systems, and the
effect of the wet-<lry cycle on invertebrate community characteristics and on
regulation of survival within and among years.
