Many collection techniques are destructive and do not give a true indication of actual populations. We have found that the header box of an artificial stream system will serve successfully as an artificial &quot;cave&quot; for the collection and study of subterranean invertebrates. Using this technique, we were able to collect two species of aquatic invertebrates previously unknown to Konza Prairie</p>1 aHooker, K.L.1 aWhiles, M.R.  uhttp://knz.lternet.edu/content/technique-collection-and-study-subterranean-invertebrates
