The importance of active-entry drift at a community-scale was evaluated by testing whether the placement of wood in streams affected the abundance of Baetis spp. mayflies in drift. Baetis were chosen because they use drift as a behavioral strategy and are important in salmonid diets. The density of woody debris...
