In attempts to better predict sediment transport in rivers, many models are now including the influence of biological structures (nets, roots, burrows, etc.) on grain movement. However, most of these models have not explicitly defined under what conditions biological structures can regulate sediment transport. Using a model system with caddisfly larvae (Trichoptera:Hydropsychidae) that spin silk nets that can stabilize substrate, we will investigate how increasing grain size impacts the strength of the biological effect that caddisflies have on sediment transport.
