Despite being important to freshwater ecosystems, stoneflies (Order: Plecoptera) are imperiled worldwide. Examining landscape genetics can provide information on the genetic diversity and population connectivity of these organisms. This data would aid their conservation by providing a framework for their suitable habitat and dispersal potential and allowing for more informed management decisions. The field of landscape genetics hypothesizes that organisms with a high dispersal ability should have low genetic distances across all geographic distances. Applying this hypothesis to riverscapes has proven challenging as factors like direction of flow, mode of dispersal, and the high dynamism of the environment all have to be considered. We are assessing the riverscape genetics patterns for a winter stonefly, Allocapnia rickeri, across the White River catchment in Northwest Arkansas to address two main objectives: 1. Determine their main mode of dispersal, and 2. Correlate riverscape or landscape covariates associated with any genetic differentiation or barriers to dispersal observed. We hypothesize that A. rickeri will show genetic patterns that indicate strong connectivity between sites that are in close physical proximity, but these patterns will be stronger within separate watersheds. While this species is common in the region, knowing this information about a common species can have practical applications to rarer Allocapnia species that are prioritized for conservation need in the state by allowing us to infer their primary dispersal mode and identifying any major barriers to dispersal these species may have in this region.
