This document is under construction!

Earlier work, plus two decade's of contributions of the Aquatic Coleoptera section of the Current and Selected Bibliographies on Benthic Biology of the North American Benthological Society (NABS), have produced a data base of more than 10,000 citations pertaining to water beetles. These are herewith made available online as a service to the scientific community. While this work may seem comprehensive, it is not complete. Citations are being added on a regular basis. The "Last Update" notice indicates such changes.
