Table 1. The threshold of motion for each caddisfly treatment in the experiment.

Treatment Crtitical Shear Stress (Pa) Critical Shields Stress Proportional increaseabove control

Ceratopsyche 17.3±1.1 0.053 0.57

The critical shear stress, non-dimensional Shields stress, and proportional increase over the control are given. Critical shears stress values are means ±1 SE. The Shields stress corresponds well to values measured in nature ranging between 0.03–0.08.
