Abstract | The aim of the study was to carry out a comparative approach of two floodplain reaches of the French UpperRhône River, on the basis of their caddisfly assemblages. Caddisflies were sampled in 2014 and 2015 in the adult stage via light-traps. A comparison with historical data in the same sector was also carried out. Our results exemplified how side-channels contribute to the maintenance of sector-scale aquatic biodiversity; especially through the lateral coexistence of species. | |
