Sights unseen, the magical miniature world of aquatic invertebrates

When it comes to the animal Kingdom, conservation is not all about everything big. Big and “furry”, big and “leather-y” or big and “scale-y” vertebrates are not the be-all and end-all of biodiversity. The smaller invertebrate beings, often alien looking, are frequently forgotten. CapeNature ecologists, however, did not forget about the aquatic invertebrates during recent river surveys, just before lockdown. Numerous river sites were visited during December 2019 and February and March 2020.
