Table 1. The threshold of motion for each caddisfly treatment in the experiment.
Treatment | Crtitical Shear Stress (Pa) | Critical Shields Stress | Proportional increaseabove control |
Control | 11.0±0.5 | 0.034 | 0.00 |
Ceratopsyche | 17.3±1.1 | 0.053 | 0.57 |
Arctopsyche | 23.0±1.4 | 0.071 | 1.10 |

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.
