Hi Kris,<\/p>\n

I have a document from Georgia Adopt-A-Stream that details chemical and biological monitoring. There is not a key, but there is some picture guides, unfortunately, now that I look at them, they are in english. the rest of the document is in Spanish and may prove helpful.<\/p>\n

If you do find a key in Spanish, can you send it to me?<\/p>\n

I have attached the Georgia doc to this email.<\/a><\/p>\n

Kris,
\nWe will soon be translating our stream bioassessment manual into Spanish in preparation for some workshops in Mexico in March. This may not include a full key, but will have the principles and practice of biomonitoring, based on a modified, EPA protocol 1 (three groups of macroinvertebrates and a biotic index of WQ).<\/p>\n

I asked Sharon Collman, our favorite ‘bug lady’ and she says that EPA has a handout available that is English and Spanish. It is not a complete list, however. If you call your EPA regional office’s PERC they might have some. If you do not have access to that number, call Region 10 at 206-553-1200 and ask for Ms. Hayslip.<\/p>\n

Kris,
\nI don’t think you will find word-for-word translations for “common names”. However, the Latin taxonomy is universal! Anyway, I’ll keep checking. In the meantime, here are some Spanish translation manuals from Georgia adopt-a-stream that you may find useful

List serve folks, here is info on Spanish macroinvertebrate keys, forwarded from Manuel L. Pescador, to Dave Penrose, then to Greg Jennings and finally to Kris S & list serve participants.
\nGracias!

\nHi Dave:
\nThe two publications that come to mind which have keys in Spanish are:
\n1. Roldan, G. 1988. Guia para el estudio de los macroinvertebrados del Departamento de Antioquia, Colombia. Fen-Colombia, Colciencias,
\nUniversidad de Antioqua, eds. Santafe de Bogota, Colombia 217p.<\/p>\n

2. Fernando, F., C. M. Gonzalo Andrade, and G. Amat. 2004. Insectos der Colombia. Vol. 3. Universidad Nacional de Colombia. 602 p. Both references have keys to families in Spanish. The paper by Roldan includes all the macroinverteberates while Fernando et al. paper ideals with insects both aquatic and terrestrial. I am sure there are other references on macroiinvertebrates in Latin America that I am not aware of, I will be on the look out and keep you posted. Our book on Mayflies of South America which will be published by Pensoft Publishers in Spring 2006 has keys(Families, Genera, Species) in both English and Spanish. I just finished reviewing the galley proof and we are looking forward to see copies of the book coming out soon.
\nLet me know if I could be of further assistance.
\nHasta pronto,<\/p>\n

Manny<\/p>\n
