Table 1 Summary of samples taken and analyzed from each wetland on each date.Gray boxes indicate that a sample was not taken because the wetland was dry.The black box indicates that a sample was taken but accidentally destroyed.Boxes with vertical lines were samples that lacked sorting information and therefore could not be used in calculations and analyses of density

Figure 1Wetland 10 (solid line) was dry every August but the average number of taxa per sample from March through July (points are mean of three years) were similar to the average number of taxa per sample in wetlands that did not dry on a yearly basis [wetland 2(long dashed line), and6 (short dashed line)]. Bars indicate ± 1 standard error of the mean of three years. Wetland 10 was also dry in June of 2006 and 2007 and thus we have no estimate of variance for that point
