Sedimentation and turbidity in rivers are known to have adverse effects on aquatic life, including decreasing primary production and total abundance of macroinvertebrates. There also is evidence of chemical contaminants in aquatic systems interrupting macroinvertebrate chemosensory, specifically in detecting predators. However, it is unclear whether sedimentation and turbidity interrupt macroinvertebrate chemosensory detection and subsequent response to predators. On the Pea River in southeast Alabama, the Elba Hydroelectric dam is scheduled to be removed in Spring of 2026. Through dam removal, an increase in suspended solids is expected in the already sediment-laden and turbid river. A common damselfly genus in the Pea River is Calopteryx (Calopterygidae: Odonata). To determine the effects of increased turbidity on damselfly response to predators and prey, Calopteryx naiads were placed in individual containers of water and raised to eighth instar where they were then used for behavioral experimentation. After reaching eighth instar, individual odonates were placed in 37 Laquariums with either turbid water or clear water. Turbidity was maintained using a mixture of kaolinite clay and artificial freshwater. Predator cues were then applied to the systems by pipetting 5 mL of water from a bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) holding tank into each experimental aquarium, and multiple odonate movement responses were recorded via an ethogram. Similarly, to determine the effects of turbidity on Calopteryx prey sensing, individuals were placed again in 37 L aquariums with either turbid water or clear water. Five Hydropsychidae (Trichoptera) were added to each aquarium, and the proportion of successful feeding attempts was recorded. The data were analyzed using ANOVA. Anticipated insights of this study include a determination of the effects of suspended solids on odonate response to prey and predator cues as well as improved odonate rearing and holding techniques for future experimentation.
