Many of these benthics are the nymph or larval stage of insects like mayflies, dragonflies, horseflies, stoneflies, caddisflies, and damselflies. The benthic invertebrate community—the population and species present—is strongly affected by its environment, including sediment composition and quality, water quality, and hydrological factors that influence the physical habitat. Invertebrate = no backbone They are often referred to as ‘benthics’ for short. In: Ecology of the Wadden Sea. 1).
