The regulation and management of lake water levels have become a major form of anthropogenic disturbance in temperate and boreal aquatic ecosystems. Drawing the water level down as the winter season progresses can lead to substantial exposure of the littoral zone, rendering it susceptible to desiccation and freezing. Such changes in the hydrological regime of littoral zones can have significant effects on aquatic biota, including macroinvertebrates. These organisms are widely considered as robust bioindicators, but it is also well known that their abundance and distribution is characterized by substantial patchiness. Often, scientists who use macroinvertebrates as bioindicators, focus their sampling on a single habitat type (e.g., stony lit...
